I'm new on laravel and need some help.
Actualy i use 5.3 laravel version.
I need to use, in laravel, external company framework (call it F for semplicity).
This framework is some like process manager. Actualy, for integrate it with laravel i put it in laravel/public folder, this way i can use laravel and F's pages in same domain. In laravel i need to access to some F functionality wich is all collect in class FFramework\Facade\FInterface;
Then i want to acces to this class from laravel controller FController.
But when i run code i get Class Not Found Exception.
This is folder structure:
laravel
app
http
controllers
FController.php
public
css
js
index.php
fframework
facade
FInterface.php
index.php
This is code example:
FController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use FFramework\facade\FInterface;
class FController extends Controller {
public function getSimpleDAta() {
$f = new FInterface();
return $f->getSimpleData();
}
}
FInterface.php
<?php
namespace FFramework\facade;
use some\internal\function;
class FInterface {
public function getSimpleDAta() {
$simpleData = ...omg so much computation :) ...
return $simpleData;
}
}
Exception that i get:
Class 'FFramework\facade\FInterface' not found
Additional Information
I use standard LAMP configuration
PHP version is last 5.6 stable version
Question
How can i use FInterface from Laravel controller leaving FFramework in public folder?
You need to update the autoload section of your composer.json file to tell your project where to look for files in the FFramework namespace.
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"database"
],
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/"
"FFramework\\": "public/fframework"
}
},

I am new in laravel.
I am writing following code in the controller method.
include_once(app_path() .'/Classes/Pgp_2fa.php');
$pgp = new Pgp_2fa();
Following errors are shown.
FatalThrowableError in AuthController.php line 146: Class
'App\Http\Controllers\Pgp_2fa' not found
You have to use the correct namespace for your class.
If you are not using any namespace, you should add a \ in front of the class to let php know that the class exists in the root namespace. Otherwise php will look in the current namespace which is App\Http\Controllers when you are in a controller.
$pgp = new \Pgp_2fa();
This is not just Laravel behavior but php in general.
When you add new classes there are couple way to use them. (I mean, load them)
If your classes has unique name and don't use namespace, then you can add backslash \ start of the class.
$class = new \Pgp_2fa;
But if you want to define them namespaces and use with same name so
many times, then you have to add these classes in composer.json. Open your
composer.json and come into "autoload" section and define class
directory in classmap
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"database/seeds",
"database/factories",
"app/Classes", // so all classes in this directory are going to load
],
And don't forget to say composer dump-autoload after these changes and creating new classes
If you don't want to dump your composer when you add a new class,
then you may want add those classes inside of the psr-4 section in composer
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/",
"App\\Classes\\": "app/Classes",
}
},
you need to add namespace for your custom class
or just add slash on your class name. like :
$pgp = new \Pgp_2fa();
You can call inside the constructor like below, and you can use the
$Pgp_2fa variable in remaining function
class controllername extends Controller
{
public function __construct(Route $route,Request $request)
{
$Pgp_2fa = new \Pgp_2fa();
}
}
You can easily add your custom classes by added it to Composer's autoload array. Go to composer.json and add it to:
"autoload": {
"files": [
"app\\Classes\\Pgp_2fa.php"
]
},
Now in your app folder, under classes folder add your Pgp_2fa.php file which will have your class. You can use it anywhere you want, it should be automatically auto-load-ed.
After adding your class write command:
composer dumpautoload to refresh autoload class mapping.
For example, There is our class Common.php in a directory called Mylibs in app directory.
app/mylibs/Common.php
we need to namespace App\Mylibs;
namespace App\Mylibs;
class Common {
public function getSite() {
return 'AmirHome.com';
}
}
Now, you can access this class using the namespace within your classes just like other Laravel classes.
use App\Mylibs\Common
in Controller:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Mylibs\Common;
class TestController extends Controller {
protected $common;
public function __construct(Common $common) {
$this->common = $common;
}
public function index() {
echo $this->common->getSite();
}
}
I am just start working with Laravel, want to create a custom class and want to call this class in every controller. For this, I create a Customer class in app/Library/ folder.
When I tried to autoload this library via composer, json it's giving an error:
Could not scan for classes inside "App/Library/Customer" which does not appear to be a file nor a folder.
How can we use autoload class in controllers?
Customer.php
<?php
namespace App\Library;
use App\Model\User;
class Customer
{
public function login($user_name,$password){
$data = User::where('email', $user_name)
->where('password', $password)
->first();
return $data->id';
}
}
Autoload section of Composer.json
{
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"database",
"app/Library/Customer"
],
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/"
},
"files" : [
"app/Helper/helper.php"
]
}
}
I think you're not understanding what the composer autoload is there for. You use this to include libraries and their dependencies, not really for classes you've created in your app.
What you're better off doing is when you create the controller add in the class you want to use eg:
<?php
use App\Library\Customer;
You will need to put this in every controller.
You should remove it from the classmap group and just add the proper namespace and class. You can see all the psr-4 standards here: http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/
Lets say you have a folder structure like this:
app
-> Library
-> Customer.php // namespace App\Library; class Customer{}
-> Model
-> User.php // namespace App\Model; class User{}
And all the files should autoload as long as you use the proper namespace and class names.
By the way you should use the Auth facade instead: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/authentication
There is no need to classmap as already psr-4 autoloading is in place. You've to understand how it works. then you can simply import your classes using use keyword, like this
<?php
use App\Library\Customer;
For more information read PSR-4: Autoloader and take this Tutorial
So I've been trying to create a custom class file for all my custom classes and append them in there, I'm using namespaces in order to accomplish using them in my controller however the controller is not recognizing the class
Ok:
Here is my custom class file placed in my project as app/Library/robloxClasses.php
namespace App\Library;
class RobloxMaths{
public function sortArrayOfArray(&$array, $subfield)
{
$sortarray = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $row)
{
$sortarray[$key] = $row[$subfield];
}
array_multisort($sortarray, SORT_DESC, $array);
}
}
Library is a folder i made to store all my custom class files in there
Here is how my controller ApiController uses the file using it's namespace
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Library\RobloxMaths;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class ApiController extends Controller
{
protected $RobloxClass;
public function __construct(){
$this->$RobloxClass= new RobloxMaths;
}
}
?>
The problem is, it keeps returning:
Class 'App\Library\RobloxMaths' not found
And I honestly do not know what's wrong, please help!
NOTE: I have tried composer update, and it fixes it temporarily but after a day or two or after me installing new dependencies it notifies me that the Class 'App\Library\RobloxMaths' not found thing happened
help please
Ensure that you have correctly setup the psr-4 autoload root in your composer.json file and that your file/directory names match perfectly including capitalisation, then run composer dump-autoload.
Example:
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/"
}
}
This will assign the root namespace App to the app folder.
If you are using an IDE, there is a large chance that your use and namespace statements where auto-generated with the lowercase app to match the directory name. As all the names tie up correctly in the IDE there are no errors, but when it comes to running the PHP script the autoloader is not doing require|require_once on your files and therefore your classes are not available.
Option 1 (Do this)
Ensure that your namespaces have consistent capitalisation that matches the composer.json entry.
Option 2 (Written for completion)
Ensure that you add a new entry for this root namespace to your composer.json file. For the example above this would be:
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/",
"app\\": "app/"
}
}
It's an old question, but I had the same problem with laravel 9,
The problem is that I've used php short tag <? instead of <?php at the custom class file.
it's silly but this was the solution for me.
I am creating a project with some additional functionality provided in form of a .php file API which contains some functions and some classes(out of which some class names are conflicting with Laravel built in class names) so, my question how should I include this file in my Laravel Controller to call functions in the file which using the classes of the file without referring Laravel classes and with less or no modification in .php API file?
Note* I am using Laravel-5.1
If you have a custom file containing some classes/functions that need to be loaded for every request, you need to make sure it's added to the autoloader.
In your composer.json add the following in your autoload section:
"autoload": {
"files": [
"path/to/your/File.php"
]
}
This will make sure the file is loaded. Now what you need is a way to use those classes without conflicting with existing Laravel classes.
First, make sure you have a namespace declaration at the top of your included file - say namespace Your\Namespace. In order to avoid conflicts, you need to explicitly tell PHP which class you mean when you reference it in the code. You mentioned your file contains a Response class that also exists in Laravel. In order to be able to use both, you need to alias one of them:
use Illuminate\Http\Response as LaravelResponse;
use Your\Namespace\Response;
Now in your code you can refer to Laravel's Response class as LaravelResponse, and to your response by simply Response.
Location of the file is irrelevant, as long as it's in a folder accessible to Laravel and its patch is added to composer.json.
Keep in mind that storing multiple classes per file is discouraged as a bad practice. I strongly suggest that you split your fine into separate file per class + one additional file with global functions.
Make an alias
Ex.
use App\Http\Requests\Request as DifferentRequest;
DifferentRequest->doStuff();
Aliasing/Importing
make an alias as #user2504370 proposed,
add to the composer:
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"database",
"place_with_your_file",
],
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/",
"your_namespace": "your path",
}
},
and run
composer dump-autoload
EDIT:
there was a typo in classmap. I wanted to tell you you can put your file whenever you want, for example, you can create a new folder 'place_with_your_file', which is not necessarily inside Laravel's folder.
I'm using it with my external libraries.
For PSR-4: if you are using namespaces, then here you will register the base namespace and the folder where can be found:
for example: "Utilities\\": "../utilities/app"
or whichever your path is.
and for classmap, you need to include path to this folder:
"../utilities/app"
and your autoload will look something like this:
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"database",
"../utilities/app",
],
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/",
"Utilities\\": "../utilities/app"`
}
},
Thank you all for taking efforts in trying to solve my problem but none of the solution worked for me so, here is what I tried for my problem
Below is the structure of my php file that I wanted to includes/integrate
<?php
class Misc {
const SUCCESS = 1;
const FAILURE = 0;
public static function get_hash ( $key )
{
...
...
...
}
public static function show_reponse ( $result )
{
...
}
}
function check($keyhash)
{
...
...
...
}
function function2()
{
...
...
...
}
class Response {
public function __construct ( $key )
{
...
}
public function __destruct ()
{
unset( $this->key );
unset( $this->params );
}
public function __set ( $key)
{
...
}
public function __get ( $key )
{
return $this->params[$key];
}
private function check_now ()
{
...
}
}
The main problem I was facing is the class name Response which was conflicting with Laravel Response class so I just removed all classes from the file and moved to their individual files in a new folder in Laravel\App folder and added namespaces to all classes.
Then I moved all functions in a PHP file in laravel\App directory
and used classnames along with the namespace defined and since I moved all functions in a different PHP file I could easily call the functions
so here is my final folder structure of Laravel
Laravel
-App
-Console
-Events
-Exceptions
-...
-Libraries(Folder Containing Individual PHP files of classes from original file)
-Providers
-helpers.php(File containing all functions from original file)
-User.php
-bootstrap
-...
-...
I am starting out with Laravel 5 and as first order of business I want to move all my models into a folder called Models.
But how can I access those without specifying the namespace like in the following?:
...
class UserRolesTableSeeder extends Seeder {
public function run()
{
DB::table('user_roles')->delete();
App\Models\UserRoles::create(['name' => 'CREATE_USER']);
}
}
Go into your composer.json and add at the end of "autoload": "classmap" this line "app/models". This way you are telling laravel to autoload those clases. After that, run a composer update and it should work.
You can also create a service provider to access models without namespaces.
To create a service provider, here is what you have to do :
1) Create a file in your models directory and name it ModelsServiceProvider.php
2) Inside of it write this code
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class ModelsServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function register()
{
$this->app->booting(function()
{
$loader = \Illuminate\Foundation\AliasLoader::getInstance();
$loader->alias('UserRoles', 'App\Models\UserRoles');
});
}
3) Go into app/config/app.php and under providers array add this line 'App\Models\ModelsServiceProvider'
You can also add directly your aliases for classes under the aliases array inside app/config/app.php.
Alternatively, you can just load your models into the global namespace like you were doing before! It's a bit scary to go against the docs but so far we haven't had any issues with it.
To make sure your models are still loaded, you just need to add the reference to your composer.json:
(assumes your namespace is App\Models)
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
...
"app/Models/"
],
...
"": [
"app/Models/"
]
be sure to run composer dump-autoload
