Simple and easy!

Processors

Also the variables are parsed according to the configuration passed as parameter to the constructor. The available processors are:

BooleanProcessor

VARIABLE=false will be processed to bool(false)

NOTE: VARIABLE="true" will be processed to string(4) "true"

QuotedProcessor

VARIABLE="anything" will be processed to string(8) "anything"

NullProcessor

VARIABLE=null will be processed to NULL

NumberProcessor

VARIABLE=0 will be processed to int(0)

VARIABLE=0.1 will be processed to float(0.1)
