Use Amazon RDS Globals in .env in a Symfony 4 project
I have set up a Symfony 4 project and deployed it to AWS.
The credentials for the database connection are available via the server globals. Is there a way to access those variables directly from the .env file? If not, what is the best approach to connect to the database without using hardcoded credentials?
Basically I want to define my connection variables like this so that I can assign them to the DATABASE_URL.
RDS_HOSTNAME=$_SERVER['RDS_HOSTNAME']
amazon-web-services symfony globals

Yes, you could access those variables directly from the .env file. As below. With this way, you are supposed to install Dotenv Bundle
RDS_HOSTNAME=getenv("RDS_HOSTNAME")
BUT, this approach is the best way on development. While you are running on production, they recommend environment variable approach.
Symfony Dotenv can be used in any environment of your application: development, testing, staging and even production. However, in production it's recommended to configure real environment variables to avoid the performance overhead of parsing the .env file for every request.
