How to use Parse in Wordpress Template? - php

Question

I want to create a backend in Wordpress for my Parse app which displays information from the app using the Parse PHP SDK.
The SDK is included and I am using the autoloader.php to load it but I keep getting the following error:
Fatal error: Class 'Parse\ParseClient' not found in http://site
I have ensured that my file path is correct.
Any suggestions.
Thanks!
define( 'PARSE_SDK_DIR', bloginfo( 'template_url' ) . '/parse/' );
// include Parse SDK autoloader
require_once('autoload.php' );
// Add the "use" declarations where you'll be using the classes
use Parse\ParseClient;
use Parse\ParseObject;
use Parse\ParseQuery;
use Parse\ParseACL;
use Parse\ParsePush;
use Parse\ParseUser;
use Parse\ParseInstallation;
use Parse\ParseException;
use Parse\ParseAnalytics;
use Parse\ParseFile;
use Parse\ParseCloud;
ParseClient::initialize('wOI4ED7sqFMI9TN9bBbwVc9WGEePcUuq15V04liY', 'lfcUvPmvT6ayZFZflLWf7rZBgbZKICuS3ppwYIxo', 'NBHXiPtiz6ECMPjnKH33P2WZwxNAMdLJEpooPCe4');
And then for the autoload.php:
<?php
/**
* You only need this file if you are not using composer.
* Adapted from the Facebook PHP SDK 4.0.x autoloader
*/
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.4.0', '<')) {
throw new Exception('The Parse SDK requires PHP version 5.4 or higher.');
}
/**
* Register the autoloader for the Parse SDK
* Based off the official PSR-4 autoloader example found here:
* https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-4-autoloader-examples.md
*
* #param string $class The fully-qualified class name.
* #return void
*/
spl_autoload_register(function ($class)
{
// Parse class prefix
$prefix = 'Parse\\';
// base directory for the namespace prefix
$base_dir = defined('PARSE_SDK_DIR') ? PARSE_SDK_DIR : bloginfo( 'template_url' ) . '/parse/';
// does the class use the namespace prefix?
$len = strlen( $prefix );
if ( strncmp($prefix, $class, $len) !== 0 ) {
// no, move to the next registered autoloader
return;
}
// get the relative class name
$relative_class = substr( $class, $len );
// replace the namespace prefix with the base directory, replace namespace
// separators with directory separators in the relative class name, append
// with .php
$file = $base_dir . str_replace( '\\', '/', $relative_class ) . '.php';
echo $file;
// echo $relative_class . '<br/>';
// if the file exists, require it
if ( file_exists( $file ) ) {
require $file;
}
});
Notice that I am echoeing the $file and this points to the correct directory :/

Answer 1

Add the "use" declarations where you'll be using the classes. For all
of the sample code in this file:
https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-php-sdk
So adding use Parse\ParseClient; to your PHP file should fix the issue, add the declaration for whatever class form the Parse PHP SDK you intend to use.

Answer 2

if the folder structure is:
autoload.php
yourcurrentfile.php
/src
/src/Parse
you can skip / remove:
define( 'PARSE_SDK_DIR', bloginfo( 'template_url' ) . '/parse/' );
if you want to set another url just use:
define( 'PARSE_SDK_DIR', __DIR__.'/src/Parse/' );
and change to the correct URL.
