PHP use statement failing

Question

I wanted to try out the FlawkApi library and copied the sample page for Steam accounts.

PHP is generating an error however:

Fatal error: Class 'FlawkApi\Services\Steam' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\SteamAccount\index.php on line 18

The code in question is this:

use FlawkApi\Services\Steam;

// include bootstrap
require_once (__DIR__.'/bootstrap.php');

// initiate Steam with example gamerid and httpClient
$FlawkApi = new Steam($gamerIds['steam']['id'], $httpClientProvider());

That last line is line 18.

Bootstrap.php holds this:

// error reporting on
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// include some example gamer ids
require_once (__DIR__.'/init.php');

And init.php holds this(modified ID here, real ID is in the actual code):

$gamerIds = array(
    'steam' =>
    array(
        'id' => 'myId'
    )
);

$httpClientProvider = function() {
            return new \FlawkApi\Common\Http\Client\FlawkClient();
        };

This is a simple use statement that PHP is falling over. My PHP version is 5.4.7, installed from the latest XAMPP version.

Does anyone know what this wouldn't work?

EDIT: initialized the composer.json, it created the vendor folder. I then required vendor/autoload.php, but it still generates the same error.

EDIT2: Here's a screenshot of the folder structure and the composer.json file: enter image description here

I think you can use spl_autoload_register to register function which can load the class if class is not found.

e.g

function my_autoloader($class) {
   if(file_exists(__DIR__ . $class . ".php"))
        require_once(__DIR__ . $class . ".php");
}

spl_autoload_register('my_autoloader');

Flawk uses composer. So just include vendor/autoload.php.

According to the documentation, it should: http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.importing.php

@Evert: So, I have to add a composer.json file first in the root?

Evert Over a year ago

@KoenDG depends on if you installed the library as a composer dependency, or if you just did a git clone. If it's the latter, you can simply install composer and run composer install in the same directory as composer.json.

@Evert I got it initially as a git clone. I copied the FlawkApi folder to my documentroot and also the composer.json file, which I also ran an install on. I'll check tomorrow what happens if I only import the composer.json file and run an install on it.
