Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Dotenv\Dotenv::__construct(): Argument #1 ($store) must be of type Dotenv\Store\StoreInterface, string given, called in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I\app\config_env.php on line 7 and defined in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I\vendor\vlucas\phpdotenv\src\Dotenv.php:60 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I\app\config_env.php(7): Dotenv\Dotenv->__construct('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I\public\index.php(3): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...') #2 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I\vendor\vlucas\phpdotenv\src\Dotenv.php on line 60

I am geting this error when trying to "echo" APP_NAME in ".env" file. I am using "vlucas/phpdotenv 5.5" and app works fine with "vlucas/phpdotenv 2.4"

index.php in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I\public

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/../app/config/_env.php';

$app_name = getenv('APP_NAME');

echo $app_name;

.env in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I

APP_URL=http://localhost/PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I
APP_ENV=local

APP_NAME="ACME E-commerce Store"

#database

DB_DRIVER='mysql'

DB_HOST=localhost

DB_NAME=store

DB_USERNAME=store

DB_PASSWORD=secret

_env in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I\app\config

<?php

define('BASE_PATH', realpath(__DIR__.'/../../'));

require_once __DIR__.'/../../vendor/autoload.php';

$dotEnv = new Dotenv\Dotenv(BASE_PATH);

$dotEnv->load();

Dotenv.php in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I\vendor\vlucas\phpdotenv\src

  line 60 -> public function __construct(
        StoreInterface $store,
        ParserInterface $parser,
        LoaderInterface $loader,
        RepositoryInterface $repository
    ) {
        $this->store = $store;
        $this->parser = $parser;
        $this->loader = $loader;
        $this->repository = $repository;
    }

I tried following changes in _env in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPTheCompletePHPMVCourse_I\app\config

$dotEnv = Dotenv\Dotenv::createImmutable(BASE_PATH);

$dotEnv->safeLoad();

got no errors but nothing comes up
