"Class not found" using php/silex - php

I set up a Silex-project local using a XAMPP on Mac. Everything works fine. Now I uploaded the files to my Amazon ec2 server and tried to run it. I always get the php errormessage:
"Fatal error: Class 'Silex\Application' not found in /opt/bitnami/apps/..."
I'm using Composer to handle the dependencies. The first lines of my file look like this:
<?php
require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
$app = new Silex\Application();
$app['debug'] = true;
Anyone has a clue how to solve that? Where could there be a problem?
Thanks a lot! Cheers

As suspected, you are using some sort of git-based deployment process.
Currently there is no tagged stable release of silex (EDIT: as of now, there is). As a result, composer will install it from source, resulting in the silex github repository being cloned into vendor/silex/silex. Since that folder is a git repo itself, those files cannot be added to your main repo. Which means that on your server the vendor/silex/silex directory simply will not exist.
If you really want to, you can apply the fix of running composer install with the --prefer-dist flag, which will force to install silex from a zip archive, allowing the directory to be added to your git repo.
But I would say that you should not be committing your vendors into version control. This is also covered by this entry in the composer FAQ:
Should I commit the dependencies in my vendor directory?
I suggest adding vendor to your .gitignore and running composer install as part of your CI and deployment process.

Email verification on registration using php Mailer not working [duplicate]

I know that this issue has been posted many times, but for me it seems to be a different problem.
Indeed, this error
Warning: require(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\site_web\send_mail.php on line 3
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\site_web\send_mail.php on line 3
appears at the begining of my code from this line:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
So, I guess there must be a /vendor/autoload.php file somewhere in my computer (I have installed composer and ran composer require phpmailer/phpmailer).
So, I looked for this file using: dir /s autoload.php in the Windows command line, and found one here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vendor\autoload.php,
but for me, syswow64 folder has nothing to see with autoload.php, I don't see what I am missing here.
What you're missing is running composer install, which will import your packages and create the vendor folder, along with the autoload script.
Make sure your relative path is correct. For example the example scripts in PHPMailer are in examples/, below the project root, so the correct relative path to load the composer autoloader from there would be ../vendor/autoload.php.
The autoload.php you found in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vendor\autoload.php is probably a global composer installation – where you'll usually put things like phpcs, phpunit, phpmd etc.
composer update is not the same thing, and probably not what you want to use. If your code is tested with your current package versions then running update may cause breakages which may require further work and testing, so don't run update unless you have a specific reason to and understand exactly what it means. To clarify further – you should probably only ever run composer update locally, never on your server as it is reasonably likely to break apps in production.
I often see complaints that people can't use composer because they can't run it on their server (e.g. because it's shared and they have no shell access). In that case, you can still use composer: run it locally (an environment that has no such restrictions), and upload the local vendor folder it generates along with all your other PHP scripts.
Running composer update also performs a composer install, and if you do not currently have a vendor folder (normal if you have a fresh checkout of a project), then it will create one, and also overwrite any composer.lock file you already have, updating package versions tagged in it, and this is what is potentially dangerous.
Similarly, if you do not currently have a composer.lock file (e.g. if it was not committed to the project), then composer install also effectively performs a composer update. It's thus vital to understand the difference between the two as they are definitely not interchangeable.
It is also possible to update a single package by naming it, for example:
composer update ramsey/uuid
This will re-resolve the version specified in your composer.json and install it in your vendor folder, and update your composer.lock file to match. This is far less likely to cause problems than a general composer update if you just need a specific update to one package.
It is normal for libraries to not include a composer.lock file of their own; it's up to apps to fix versions, not the libraries they use. As a result, library developers are expected to maintain compatibility with a wider range of host environments than app developers need to. For example, a library might be compatible with Laravel 5, 6, 7, and 8, but an app using it might require Laravel 8 for other reasons.
Composer 2.0 removed any remaining inconsistencies between install and update results; if you're running composer 1.x you should definitely upgrade.
If you get the error also when you run
composer install
Just run this command first
composer dump-autoload
This command will clean up all compiled files and their paths.
#Bashir almost helped me but I needed:
composer update --no-scripts
Apparently this prevents any scripts from being included before executing artisan.
I found the answer here half-way down the page:

Proper autoload.php configuration:
A) Quick answer:
Your autoload.php path is wrong. ie. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vendor\autoload.php
To date: you need to change it to: C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor\autoload.php
B) Steps with example:
We will take facebook/php-graph-sdk as an example; change to Package Name as needed.
Install composer.exe
Open CMD Prompt. + R + type CMD
Run This command: composer require facebook/graph-sdk
Include path in your PHP page: require_once 'C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor\autoload.php';
Define configuration Secrets and Access Token for your package...etc.
Happy codinig.
C) Further details:
Installing composer on windows will set this default path for your pacakges; you can find them there and include the autoloader path:
C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor
For the same question you asked; the answer was this path for WAMP Server 64 BIT for Windows.
Then simply in your PHP Application change this:
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
To:
require_once 'C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor\autoload.php';
Find your windows username under C:\Users\
Before all this, as pointed before in B) , you need to run this command:
composer require <package name>
for facebook php SDK for example:
composer require facebook/graph-sdk
Thank you for asking this question; appreciated as it helped me fix similar issue and ended writing this simple tutorial.
First make sure you have installed the composer.
composer install
If you already have installed then update the composer.
composer update
If you have cloned your project from Github or got it from somewhere else, you will encounter this error. That's because you are missing the vendor folder and other files. The vendor folder contains packages which are dependent to your project. The package dependencies are stored in composer.json file and the folder was excluded while pushing to Github.
Fix this error by simply running:
composer install
Then you will get all the assets needed for your project.
First, review route inside index.php
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
in my case the route did not work, I had to review the directories.
For me
Just run this command first
composer dump-autoload
to add vendor folder.
then run this command
composer update --no-scripts
to update composer.
Create composer.json file with requisite library for ex:
{
"require": {
"mpdf/mpdf": "^6.1"
}
}
Execute the below command where composer.json exists:
composer install
In case of Drupal :
Use the web root folder of drupal to include autoload for ex:
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/vendor/autoload.php';
In case of other systems:
Use the root folder variable or location to include the autoload.php
I had this path in my machine:
C:/xampp5.0/htdocs/project-recordando-symfony/project-recordando-symfony
Then I ran composer install or/and composer update and it returned this error:
ErrorException ZipArchive::extractTo...
That error is because your path is too much long, I changed to:
C:/xampp5.0/htdocs/p-symfony/*
and worked!
run composer update. That's it
I was able to resolve by removing composer and reinstalling the proper way. Here is what I did:
sudo apt remove composer
sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove
Installed globally with the instructions from: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
Download from: https://getcomposer.org/installer
global install: mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
(Note: I had to move mine to mv composer.phar /usr/bin/composer)
I was then able to get composer install to work again. Found my answer at the bottom of this issue: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/5510
In your project folder, the vendor folder is missing so you got this error:
Warning: require(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
When you download the project through git, the project is downloaded without the vendor folder
You need /vendor because all your packages are there, including all the classes Laravel uses. The vendor directory contains your Composer dependencies.
The solution is simple, Just run this command:
composer update --no-scripts
composer update
composer update --no-scripts It will Skips execution of scripts defined in composer.json file.
composer update It will update your depencencies as they are specified in composer.json file.
With this command, you will re-create the vendor folder in your project and after that your project will start working normally.
This error occurs because of missing some files and the main reason is "Composer"
First Run these commands in CMD
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'e0012edf3e80b6978849f5eff0d4b4e4c79ff1609dd1e613307e16318854d24ae64f26d17af3ef0bf7cfb710ca74755a') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
Then
Create a New project
Example:
D:/Laravel_Projects/New_Project
laravel new New_Project
After that start the server using
php artisan serve
In my case, It was due to the non-fully installation of the project, because I didn't have enough space on my hard disk
There will be a directory called "vendor" that needs to be in your root directory if you have a cloned repository and trying to set up that time this type of error occurring.
".gitingore" file has written code to not include vendor directory on GIT so after cloning GIT your project facing the issue of missing vendor directory.
Once you add vendor directory your project will start working again.
Change the auto_prepend_file property on php.ini

How can I composer package on the server that I have installed on my local machine?

Via Terminal I installed the Ramsey/Uuid plugin:
composer require ramsey/uuid
In my PagesRepository.php I am creating this function:
use Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid;
function generateUid()
{
$uuid = Uuid::uuid4();
$uuid = $uuid->getHex();
$uuid = substr($uuid,0,10);
return $uuid;
}
I am using the function in my PagesController.php
$unique_id = PagesRepository::generateUid();
$entity->setUnique_id($unique_id);
It is working very fine on my local machine, but then I push it via git to my server and there I get the error message:
Attempted to load class "Uuid" from namespace "Ramsey\Uuid". Did you
forget a "use" statement for
"Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Uuid"?
I cannot install anything on the server because it is a shared host and the permission is denied so I copied the ramsey folder into my vendor folder on the server. But this was not solving the problem.
I do not understand, why this is asking for the Symfony validator, as it does not need it on the local machine.
Its because of composer auto generated files not linking your folder or class (ramsey) .
So, as i understand you can not run composer update or composer install on shared hosting, you should upload whole updated vendor folder to your server.
Then auto generated files like vendor\composer\autoload_psr4.php will be updated and have link to class like Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid.
Point is
PHP Namespace can not include class/file automatically. It loads classes with composer's auto generated linking files and __auload magic function.
If you are not running composer install in your server, you need to copy the whole vendor folder, at least, to wherever you are running the system.
The package you have installed might have installed other dependencies, for example, but you are not copying them when transferring only the files for that package. And at the very least you'll need the generated autoloader files.
Since you creating the installation on dev and transferring it to production, I would advise delete your local vendor folder and re-do the whole installation first:
composer install --prefer-dist --no-dev --no-scripts --no-progress --no-suggest --classmap-authoritative --no-interaction
And transfer that vendor folder to production. You should make sure that the installation process doesn't include any other step (enabling bundles, creating configuration files, etc), but I'm hoping you took care of that at some point.
After yo do that, you can reset the previous steps, and do a regular composer install for development.

Facing issue installing pug-php/pug-symfony on Symfony 2.8.26

I am facing an issue while installing pug-php/pug-symfony in Symfony 2.8.
I started with a fresh symfony installation and executed
composer require pug-php/pug-symfony
All the dependencies were fetched and downloaded and tyhe composer.json also got updated, however in the step of autoloader.php generation, it comes up with this error. (below image)
autoload.php issue when installing pug on symfony
To debug the issue, i tried executing
composer dump-autoload -o
and the same error pops up again.
Next, I tried something cheeky and created a new blank autoload.php file in the Symfony project directory root, and again executed composer update and composer dump-autoload, however, this time am getting this,
composer update issue (2)
Please help.
Your path is wrong currently it is stating that there is no autoload.php file in the directory C:\xampp\htdocs\demoSymfony\autoload.php. There should be a vendor directory where the autoload.php file is found. Can you update your question with the current Repository structure/hierarchy? That will probably give us more info to help you.
Straight from their docs: For libraries that specify autoload information, Composer generates a vendor/autoload.php file. You can simply include this file and start using the classes that those libraries provide without any extra work
https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#autoloading
We have solved this issue, you should now be able to install it with no such problem by following the README install process:
https://github.com/pug-php/pug-symfony#pug-symfony

How to install composer for portable

I have a repository with a bunch of code in it and a composer.json and a composer.lock.
When I want to run the website on a different server I have so clone the repo and then run composer install in the root of the repo.
However I want to be able to download the repo put it on a server and it should just work, without having to execute anything.
Even if I included the vendor folder in the repo and then try to put that on a webserver it gives me errors like "bla bla require() failed in some php file in vendor folder".
So what am I doing wrong?
A deployment of an application using Composer usually goes like this:
Checkout the appropriate version of the application from Git. You could also run git archive and pipe the result into tar to create a version that does not have the .git folder.
Run composer install
Transfer the created folder structure onto the target system.
All in all you'd probably only copy everything you already have on your development machine to the new system.
If that does not work, you have to be more specific with your error message.
