having a problem finding this require_once - richb201 - 01-24-2022
I have a lib that I am trying to require_once. This is the code in my app:
require_once("../rst/RST/app/analytics/lib/Segment.php");
This returns an error
Severity: Warning
Message: require_once(../rst/RST/app/analytics/lib/Segment.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
But when I go to the CLI and type
ubuntu@ip-172-31-66-201:~/rst/RST$ ls app/analytics/lib/Segment.php
app/analytics/lib/Segment.php
It seems to be found. I any idea why I can require_once this file?
BTW, I am using Docker and my Segment.php is on the server's drive, not on Docker. Could this be the issue?

Don't use "../" like relative path.
The current directory may change at runtime.
Use __DIR__ (the directory of the file) or other absolute paths like APPPATH.
require_once(__DIR__ . "/../../rst/RST/app/analytics/lib/Segment.php");

Thanks. The problem is that Composer didn't install it in my Controllers dir.

It was put here:

I installed with Composer but that might be the issue. I can see it on the hard drive. But my code can't seem to see it. I don't know why? I then tried this:
Message: require_once(/home/ubuntu/vendor/segmentio/analytics-php/lib/Segment.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
But this also fails.

What do you mean "The problem is that Composer didn't install it in my Controllers dir."?
Composer always installs package files in project_root/vendor/.
And if you use Composer, you can use Composer autoloader, so you don't have to
write require_once().
RE: having a problem finding this require_once - richb201 - 01-25-2022
Thanks. I do see a copy was installed under /vendor. Are you saying that if I am using autoloader(which I am), I don't need to require_once at all? If that is true, I might already be ok. Is there a way to confirm that Composer has installed it?
RE: having a problem finding this require_once - kenjis - 01-25-2022
If you have project_root/vendor/autoload.php, you can use Composer autoloader.
See https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/concepts/autoloader.html#composer-support
RE: having a problem finding this require_once - richb201 - 01-26-2022
Thanks. I took a look at Composer/autokload_files.php and I see:

The problem is that MY /vendor/segmentio is under /home/ubuntu/vendor, while all the other vendors are under /app/vendor. So I think that my Composer installed my segentio in the wrong directory. Perhaps I ran Composer from the wrong directory? The vendor does have instructs to manually (w/o Composer) install their files. Perhaps I will try that instead. Can they both (composer install and manual install) can exist concurrently?
I also see that the min php version for the Segment version I am using is 7.4 and my aws EC3 is using version 7.2.

> Perhaps I ran Composer from the wrong directory?
Probably, yes.
But if the library requires PHP 7.4 or later, and you are using PHP 7.2, you can't use the library.
RE: having a problem finding this require_once - richb201 - 01-28-2022
Thanks. I think I got it going but the issue is php 7.2 vs php 7.4. Upgrading is no so easy due to my use of docker.
I think the docker image needs to be rebuilt.
