$psr4 Namespace Paths
#1

Ok, this one is bending my noobie-brain…

I’ve been experimenting with the $psr4 namespace, and, for demonstrating my problem, have the following (in Autoload.php):

Code:
$psr4 = [
          'Config'     => APPPATH . 'Config',
          'App'        => APPPATH,
          'Libraries'  => APPPATH . 'Libraries',
];

So one may be mistaken to believe that Libraries would be mapped (in the namespace and also in the file structure on the drive) as a sub-directory of the APPPATH (\app)…but if I use it as I’d have expected:

Code:
use Libraries\Functions;

// or, in case anyone thinks it’s now being referenced relative to \Config, the same happens with:
use \Libraries\Functions;

I get:  “Error: Class 'Libraries\Functions' not found”.

If, however, I precede the reference to use with “\App”, as in:

Code:
use \App\Libraries\Functions;

everything works.

So the $psr4 definition doesn’t seem to be doing anything… indeed, if I remove ‘Libraries’ from Autoload.php, it makes no difference, and everything works without it.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

That's because all the folders under app belong to the App namespace.

i've also been playing with namespace to use things like PHPmailer and my own classes. All i an tell you is what works for me.

So this is my dev structure in a directory called CI located at : /var/www/htdocs

bash-5.0$ tree -f -L 1

to put it simply PHPMailer is at same level of app

the name space of PHPMailer classes including Exception, SMTP , POP is:
namespace PHPMailer\PHPMailer;

to use PHPMailer from a controller i listed it in app/config/autoload $psrf = [
section as:

'PHPMailer\\PHPMailer'=> ROOTPATH.'PHPMailer/src'

then in a controller called sendmail i used:
Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers;

use CodeIgniter\Controller;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\OAuth;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;

then further down :

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Timeout = 20;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';

/etc
it successfully sent me an email from a form that submits to controller via POST


so as insiteFX just said everything under app uses ,APP namespace but if you follow my approach you will see that I put PHPMailer outside app and it definitely takes notice .

Thanks for the explanation and working example.

What was bending my brain at the time was the fact that I had one 3rd party addon (in \app\ThirdParty\ZxcvbnPhp) added and working perfectly out-the-box without the slightest glitch or problem, but when I later experimented with Myth/Auth, I battled to get it working.

If I have another try with it, or when I have problems with the next 3rd-party addon, I'll try it the way you suggest.

Thanks.
