i want to use Requests for PHP in my yii project.
I installed the yii2 basic template, and copied the Requests Class File (and the Requests directory) to root/vendor.
I include the requests.php file with this line
include('../vendor/Requests.php');
But i always get an error that yii cant find the requests.php class.
What i need to do to implement the requests class?
Use Composer, as proposed in project README. Run this command in root of your project:
composer require rmccue/requests

I am just picking up using Laravel, but I dont like Vue and have been working with the React ecosystem and would like to use React instead of Vue. Laravel Mix doesnt give me the setup I want and so I figured I could use create-react-app.
Using Laravel Valet, I have started a project in which I have also installed create-react-app in a folder called ui, at the root of the Laravel installation.
My idea is to forego some of Laravel's functionality, namely the whole frontend.
I am attempting to require the react app build html file in resources/views/main.blade.php like so:
require_once __DIR__.'/ui/build/index.html';
This gives me the error:
Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException
(E_UNKNOWN) Illuminate\View\Engines\PhpEngine::main(): Failed opening
required
'/Users/Username/Sites/sitename/storage/framework/views/ui/build/index.html'
(include_path='.:')
This path is not correct, but I'm not sure why it is inserting /storage/framework/ into that path.
I have also tried the following, each with a similar error of Failed opening resource:
require_once('../../ui/build/index.html');
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/ui/build/index.html');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/ui/build/index.html');
Laravel does not integrate with Vue, and Laravel Mix is a simple layer on top of Webpack. The default Laravel application ships with Vue scaffolding but removing that is as simple as deleting the files in resources/assets/js and if you wish to use another Javascript library then you can add that into your app.js instead.
The error you're receiving is because Laravel caches view files, meaning that they're served from the cache directory (which lives in storage/framework) so references like __DIR__ are referencing the cache directory, not the resources directory. You can see this in the documentation:
You should avoid using the DIR and FILE constants in your Blade views, since they will refer to the location of the cached, compiled view.
The correct approach to include files into your views with Blade is using the #include directive, e.g:
#include('ui.build.index')
Also, worth noting, that any time you do need to obtain the path to a file in your Laravel application you should use the base_path and app_path helpers.
Prior to continuing with development of your application you should read through the JavaScript & CSS Scaffolding documentation and the Blade documentation, as they contain a lot of information that will be very useful to you — for example, it explains how to replace Vue with React using a single command.
I'm trying to load a class that has an underscore in it in ZF2.
This is the project I want to use: https://github.com/PHPGangsta/GoogleAuthenticator
The folder paths look like this:
/module
/Application
/Service
/MyService.php
/vendor/
/PHPGangsta
/GoogleAuthenticator.php
GoogleAuthenticator.php has a class named PHPGangsta_GoogleAuthenticator which I want to use in MyService.php, without having to require any files.
Also, I cannot change files inside PHPGangsta, because the project is submoduled under git.
Can you help configure zf2 class autoload?
Assuming you installed ZF2 using Composer (which is the recommended method), edit your composer.json to add phpgangsta/googleauthenticator to the require section. Then run composer install. That's it. You should then be able to use the library in your application - you don't need to do any additional autoload configuration.
I am php developer use laravel-4 as framework for building web applications , in the last few days I wanted to create phar file from my web application created on laravel framework .
I searched in the web for tools build php archive files (.phar) and I found
PHP box , this tool is very good and use json configuration file for building the phar files but i could not use it for creating my phar files because there is many considerations when creating phar file from a web application use a framework like laravel . my questions are :
laravel use composer autoloader as auto loading mechanism
1- how to handle composer auto loading mechanism ?
2- how to handle the framework bootstrapping process ? 'like laravel'
3- what i need to make the browser read my index page from inside the phar file ?
4- how to use framework command line tools from the phar file ? 'like laravel-artisan'
You might use composer.json in your application and require box there.
When your application runs on laravel, you know that your bootstrap works and would also work inside a phar.
I believe Box brings a lot of the composer autloading stuff itself, so you won't run into trouble with it. I think the class_map gets included automatically.
One thing to consider is, that configuration details must be passed in!
In general, you need to "forward" to your application, which is inside the phar, like so:
<?php
require_once "phar://myapp.phar/frontcontroller.php"; // maybe index.php
$config = array('dsn' => 'database-config');
Application::run($config);
Also accessing a PHAR in a PHAR is a problem!
You can't access a PHAR packaged in a PHAR directly.
Firstly you need to extract the packaged PHAR, secondly do the forwarding call and pass the CLI commands along. Problem solved here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13537329/1163786
Full Example
box.json.dist
{
"main": "bootstrap.php",
"output": "application.phar",
"compactors": ["Herrera\\Box\\Compactor\\Composer"],
"chmod": "0755",
"directories": ["src/"],
"stub": true
}
bootstrap.php
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; //<-- this is autoload.php generated by Composer
use MyApp\Application;
$config = parse_ini_file(__DIR__.'/config.ini');
$app = new Application();
$app->run($config);
I am trying to include the YouTube Analytics Service of Google but I can not access it through the Vendor folder.
include(app_path.'path/to/analytics/Google_YoutubeAnalyticsService.php')
It is not working, because it defaults to the App folder.
How can I get out of the App folder and into the Vendor folder (where the YouTube Analytics file is at)?
The error is {
include(C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\app/path/to/analytics/Google_YoutubeAnalyticsService.php):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory
From where do you want to include that file ?
Place a reference to your file in composer.json autoload object:
"autoload": {
"files":["your_file_path"]
}
Run composer dumpautoload, and you'll have your file :)
Actually you have in the helpers function the path so basically the function base_path give the direction to the root of your project so
echo base_path() . '/vendor';
Should be the route to your vendor folder.
You can se all the documentation in
Helper Functions Laravel
Be sure that you are seeing the documentation of the laravel version that you are using (I put the link for the 4.2 version).
This question was asked a long time ago and the answers reflect that. Most the time now all you need to do is import it using the "use" statement if you installed it with composer. Composer will already reference all the important directories.
It should be something like this, but it will vary depending on the project.
use FolderNameUsuallyGitHubUserName\ClassNameorGitHubProjectName\Class;
That could include a base class as well as some exception classes.
use FolderNameUsuallyGitHubUserName\ClassNameorGitHubProjectName\ClassException;
Usually most packages if compliant with modern composer and php standards work in this fashion.
The Yii2 preview was recently released and is available on github. I want to take it for a test drive, but the "documentation" so far gets outdated almost instantly since it is still under heavy development. I have tried to follow this guide on creating a simple CRUD app with Yii2, but it fails at the step:
php yiic.php app/create /var/www/yii2
With the error:
Could not open input file: yiic.php
Indicating that there is no file called yiic.php. The only folder within the framework folder is yii (framework/yii), and within that folder there is no file yiic.php, only Yii.php which when called in the command line gives the command list:
The following commands are available:
- asset
- cache
- help
- message
- migrate
Anyone managed to successfully setup a Yii2 app? Care to share how you got it done?
Seems like yiic has been removed for now, there are alternatives though, so read on.
It's all in the early stages, so the following method could break in the coming days/weeks/months. Therefore use with caution.
There are 2 ways to do this now:
Use composer. (I recommend this option.)
Directly copy the contents of yii2/apps/ directory to your apps directory, depending on the type of app you want to try.
There are currently 2 options for type of app - advanced, and basic. Both are in their respective directories within the yii2/apps/ directory, i.e yii2/apps/advanced and yii2/apps/basic.
For basic go through the basic readme.md, and for advanced go through the advanced readme.md.
The directions for using composer are given in the respective readme.md files. Including them here for completeness:
Basic app:
Install composer, if you don't have it.
Use composer to install the app alongwith dependencies(Yii):
php path/to/composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic my_yii2_trial
Access app from http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/www
Advanced app:
Install composer, if you don't have it.
Use composer to install the app alongwith dependencies(Yii):
php path/to/composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced my_yii2_trial
According to readme, after step 2 app should be accessible, but composer was failing(see issue 439). With schmunk's tip, ran the install or install.bat command that gets copied by composer: ./install . Selected development environment (by entering choice 0 in the instructions that show up when running install command). Update: The command has been renamed to init, composer doesn't fail anymore, with fix from Qiang (check the issue 439 for more details).
Access app at: http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/frontend/www or http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/backstage/www
Here's how to copy the directory and get it working:
Basic app:
create your web-accessible directory for the app : my_yii2_trial
copy all files and folders from yii2/apps/basic/ directory to my_yii2_trial/ directory.
modify the my_yii2_trial/www/index.php file to point to the correct path for Yii.php.
For me it was within yii2/framework/yii/
comment the line that tries to include ../vendor/autoload.php file, I couldn't find that file anywhere, so its probably for some future use. it is the autoloader provided by composer.
Access from browser : http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/www
Advanced app:
create your web-accessible directory for the app : my_yii2_trial
copy all files and folders from yii2/apps/advanced/ directory to my_yii2_trial/ directory.
modify the my_yii2_trial/frontend/www/index.php file to point to the correct path for Yii.php. Similarly modify backstage/www/index.php.
comment the line that tries to include ../vendor/autoload.php file in both the index.php of backstage and frontend.
Access app at: http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/frontend/www or http://localhost/my_yii2_trial/backstage/www
Some important links to read more about this: issue 77, issue 108, issue 131, and wiki comment.
I am not sure how composer's autoloader is being used, so can't comment on that. Also in future versions, backstage might be renamed to backend.
