How does this help with php_value in .htaccess?

[friwid]

Hello,
In your readme you state "NO adding php_value flags to .htaccess files"
So I have php_value error_log [PATH] in my .htaccess, and I want the path not to be shown there when I commit it to my repo.
I researched quite a while now and I cant figure out how it is possible to replace that path with a variable that points to $_ENV or how to use phpdotenv in this case.

Maybe you can help me out here. Or do I understand something wrong? I am quite new to PHP.
Thank you!
