Class "PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer" not found - mazz - 08-31-2022

I'm using CodeIgniter 4 and I'm trying add PHPMailer to my project via a composer:

Quote:composer require phpmailer/phpmailer

My Controller:

PHP Code:
<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

use CodeIgniter\Controller;
use App\Models\IssueModel;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

class Issues extends Controller {

    public function create() {
        if ($this->request->getMethod() == 'post') {
            .... // some code here
                $issueModel = new IssueModel();

                $mail = new PHPMailer(true);

                $mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;
                $mail->isSMTP();
                $mail->Host      = 'mai';
                $mail->SMTPAuth  = true;
                $mail->Username  = 'noreply';
                $mail->Password  = 'pass';
                $mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS;
                $mail->Port      = 587;

                ..... // some code here
    }

} 


And I have this error:

Quote:Class "PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer" not found

Where is a problem?

I use phpmailer and it works a treat. Structure of my app is :


Code:
[andrew@darkstar:/srv/http]$ tree -L 1 ads.com                                                                                                                (08-31 15:08)

/app/config/Autolaod.php is "

Code:
    public $psr4 = [
        APP_NAMESPACE => APPPATH, // For custom app namespace
        
        
        'Config'      => APPPATH . 'Config',
        'PHPMailer\\PHPMailer'=> ROOTPATH.'PHPMailer/src',
        
        
    ];


And in controller to use it :

Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers;

use CodeIgniter\Controller;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\OAuth;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use \App\Andy\CheckSpam;
use \App\Andy\Utility;
use CodeIgniter\I18n\Time;

//then to instantiate

                      $mail = new PHPMailer(true);


structure of PHPMAiler directory is:

Code:
                  

andrew@darkstar:http/ads.com]$ tree PHPMailer -L 1                                                                                                           (08-31 15:14)

the classes for phpmailer are of course in source

I added this to my app/Config/Autoload.php:

PHP Code:
'PHPMailer\PHPMailer'  => ROOTPATH . 'vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/src' 

and it works! But I have one more question.
Why you used '\\' (double) in below code?

RE: Class "PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer" not found - captain-sensible - 08-31-2022

basically the first \ "escapes" the second - just a quirk of the way things work


like "@" , " | " " \ " is a special character so there is a clash between implementation of what a special character does and use as namespace path. So by adding another \ it equates to literal use

It seems your code should work.
Code:

There is no error:

One thing that helps with debugging namespaces is to run from the web app :

Code:
[andrew@darkstar:http/kursaal2.org]$  php spark namespaces                                                                                                    (09-18 10:36)
