[Solved] Autoloading core classes and composer - enlivenapp - 10-13-2017
Well, the title is sorta right.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
Autoload classes in application/core. IE: Admin_controller and Public_controller.
I've done this in application/config with the following code (which works)
PHP Code:
function __autoload($class)
{
if(strpos($class, 'CI_') !== 0)
{
@include_once( APPPATH . 'core/'. $class . '.php' );
}
}
I'm also trying to use a composer package, (Stripe if it matters)
I've tried this in application/config.php (the normal place) and in the project root file index.php
PHP Code:
$config['composer_autoload'] = 'vendor/autoload.php';
Which does work but...
They don't work together at the same time. If composer autoloading is 'on' the Admin_controller I get the error:
PHP Code:
Fatal error: Class 'Admin_Controller' not found in...
When I turn composer autoloading back off, the Admin_controller is loaded and works correctly.
I've tested this in PHP 5 and 7.1 with CI 3.1.3 - 3.1.6
So, my question is how do I get them both going at the same time? Any help is appreciated.

Do you want to namespace your core controller files?

No, not for this project. I need to be able to update CI without that kind of a headache.
When we get to CI4 however...

Okies,
Seems I found the right answer here. It's a little weird because I'm still not sure what the full behind the scenes are doing but here goes. Link at the bottom for a hard to find answer.
Place this code in application/config.php (I did it at the bottom)
PHP Code:
function __autoload($class)
{
if(strpos($class, 'CI_') !== 0)
{
@include_once( APPPATH . 'core/'. $class . '.php' );
}
}
Then in application/config.php change
PHP Code:
$config['composer_autoload'] = false;
to:
PHP Code:
$config['composer_autoload'] = 'vendor/autoload.php'; // or wherever you've installed composer
Then, in composer.json add:
PHP Code:
"autoload": {
"classmap": ["application/core"]
},
Lastly, in your terminal run:
PHP Code:
> composer update
Now I have access to Admin_controller when called and I have access to the Stripe (in my case) Object.

Notes: This works in CI 3.1.3 and 3.1.6

I never seen that one before. Nice work. I uploaded a clean install to github with namespaces just in case you answered yes. LOL

I appreciate it. This was perplexing for sure.
The good thing is I can charge people through my website now! Well, after a bunch more coding... lol
