    Wrap .env.example variable values in quotes · bcf39350
    Phil Bates authored
    When the developer copies .env.example to .env they are unlikely to
    add quotes to the values in .env. When the developer needs to
    set the value of an environment variable to a value containing a
    space, as none of the existing values in .env are quoted, the
    developer is unlikely to wrap this new value with spaces in quotes.
    This will result in an error, as The vlucas/phpdotenv library throws
    an error when setting an environment variable to a value with a space.
    
    Quote all default environment variables by default, reducing the
    likelihood of the developer ever receiving the error relating to
    environment variables needing to be quoted when they contain spaces.
    
    This excludes true, null etc. even though wrapping them in quotes
    would still result in the desired behaviour, as it is more intuitive
    to see these special types not wrapped in quotes.
    
    The current default values in .env.example don't contain any spaces,
    so this commit will make no difference out of the box; its only
    purpose is to help out the developer further down the line on the day
    when they need to set an environment variable to a value containing
    spaces.
    
    Also, the vlucas/phpdotenv library docs currently uses quoted
    variables in every example, so quoting .env.example's values will lead
    to more consistency with those docs. This will likely stop any
    confusion for the developer when reading the vlucas/phpdotenv docs.
