Got not found when trying to use zend-soap - php

Question

I am trying to write a SOAP server in PHP using zendframework/zend-soap library. This is my directory structure:
|- app/
|- mySoapService.php
|- composer.json
|- composer.lock
|- vendor/
This is the content of composer.json:
{
"name": "my_soap_service",
"description": "This package is implementing a SOAP service.",
"type": "project",
"require": {
"zendframework/zend-soap": "^2.8"
},
"require-dev": {
}
}
I entered following commands in terminal:
zeinab: ~/my_soap_server$ composer install
PHP Warning: Module 'soap' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

Package container-interop/container-interop is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use psr/container instead.

This is the content of mySoapService.php:
class MyClass {
/**
* #param integer $inputParam
* #return string
*/
public function method1($inputParam) {
return "This is your input: " . $inputParam . ".";
}
/**
* #param integer $inputParam1
* #param string $inputParam2
* #return float
*/
public function method2($inputParam1, $inputParam2) {
return "This is your inputs: " . $inputParam1 . " and " . $inputParam2 . ".";
}
}
$server = new Zend\Soap\Server(null, $options);
// Bind Class to Soap Server
$server->setClass('MyClass');
// Bind already initialized object to Soap Server
$server->setObject(new MyClass());
$server->handle();
But when I try to run it using php mySoapService.php, I get this error:
zeinab:~/my_soap_server$ php app/mySoapServer.php
PHP Warning: Module 'soap' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Zend\Soap\Server' not found in /home/zeinab/my_soap_server/app/mySoapServer.php:23
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
thrown in /home/zeinab/my_soap_server/app/mySoapServer.php on line 23
I also tried to put "zendframework/zend-soap": "^2.8" inside both require and require-dev sections of composer.json and repeat the process; same results happened.

It seems you forgot to add composer's autoloading. This is necessary to tell PHP where to find the classes you are instantiating. Take a look at Composer's documentation for more informations about it.
Add include __DIR__ . '/PATH/TO/VENDOR/FOLDER/autoload.php'; at the beginning of the file.
