How can I include normal php script in symfony2

Question

I want to include normal php script that I have made before for another project in DefaultController.

public function indexAction()
{       
            include('./GenFunctions.php');

then I put GenFunctinos.php in the same directory as DefaultController, but it shows 'failed to open stream'

How can I include this script?

I understood this is the illegular way to include in the perspective of symfony2.

But I want to do this to reuse the script. please help me.

Use the file's absolute path: __DIR__ . '/GenFunctions.php' or /path/to/GenFunctions.php — Denis de Bernardy

is it a class or just some functions ? maybe you should refactor it to a class using namespaces and integrate it with composer ... — Nicolai Fröhlich

100% with @nifr. Composer is the way to go when adding libs to a symfony2 project. — cheesemacfly

You can autoload this file with composer.

{
    "autoload": {
        "files": ["src/GenFunctions.php"]
    }
}
