Using $_ENV array in GitHub Actions

Question

While using GitHub actions I get an undefined index error in $_ENV('ENV') but when I use getenv('ENV') I actually get the variable I'm looking for. How can I fix that?

Answer 1

If your $_ENV array is mysteriously empty, but you still see the variables when calling getenv() or in your phpinfo(), check your http://us.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.variables-order ini setting to ensure it includes "E" in the string.
