index.php ENVIRONMENT not able to be set from environment variable

[T012m3n7oR]

I see that reading from the CI_ENV variable was explicitly removed from the index.php file. Was this due to not being able to get it to work?

I spent some time this morning trying to get this working as I run Cloudlog in a container, so being able to just set a variable, then change the variable if I need a different environment is significantly easier than trying to get on my host to edit the index.php file. I run portainer as access to the backend of all my docker containers.

This is the line in index.php that is commented out: Line 56

I commented out Line 57 in my file, and uncommented 56.
I had a ton of issues where the environment variable wasn't being considered set originally. I even tried to output the entire $_Server variable, and it was just blank. If I called a bare getenv() I did see variables that were populated.

For any other users that prefer environment variables, this is the line that I finally got to work in my environment:
define('ENVIRONMENT', getenv("CI_ENV") !== false ? getenv("CI_ENV") : 'development');

I like the idea. Will add it to my installation. Would you see issues here to include this @magicbug?
