I think I figured out where to setup/create environment variables. I
am using XML for configuration, so YAML users may need to convert the
syntax. Environment variables can be created by using the <parameter>
tag within the <parameters> tag. Each <parameter> has a 'key'
attribute, which is what you use to refer to the value stored in the
environment variable. In my case when I configure my database name
with Doctrine DBAL, it should look like:
<parameters>
    <parameter key="kernel.data_dir">[INSERT PATH]</parameter>
</parameters>
<doctrine:dbal
    driver="PDOSqlite"
    dbname="%kernel.data_dir%/test.sqlite"
    user=""
    password=""
/>
I still need to figure out where the path is relative to, or if you
simply need to enter an absolute path (which is not ideal). I don't
get any errors with this config, but the test.sqlite file is nowhere
to be found. Is it possible it is ignoring the config and creating it
in memory?
