How to use Zend Framework 1 when is installed through composer? - php

Question

Recently I discovered that Zend Framework 1 (ZF1) can be installed using composer so I did a: composer require zendframework/zendframework1. That change my composer.json by adding the following:
{
...
"autoload": {
"psr-0": { "": ["application/models", "application/controllers", "application/forms"]},
"psr-4": { "": ["src/", "library/"]}
},
"require": {
...
"zendframework/zendframework1": "^1.12"
}
}
After run the command composer update and composer dump-autoload I look into the composer generated files and I can see the following:
/vendor/composer/autoload_files.php
===================================
// autoload_files.php #generated by Composer
$vendorDir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
$baseDir = dirname($vendorDir);
return array(

/vendor/composer/autoload_namespaces.php

$vendorDir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__));

/vendor/composer/include_paths.php
===================================
$vendorDir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
$baseDir = dirname($vendorDir);
return array(
$vendorDir . '/zendframework/zendframework1/library',
);
I am trying to use then the class from the application/bootstrap.php file as for example:
use Zend_Config_Ini;
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini('./../config/config.ini', 'general');
But PHP is complaining with the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Zend_Config_Ini' not found in
/var/www/html/application/bootstrap.php:23
Why? What I am missing here?

Answer 1

That are composer basics, you need to include the autoloader file to be able to load those classes.
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
