Symfony2.7，将第三方lib添加到项目中

Question

I'm stuck, i wanted to load external library to my symfony2 project but got error stating that class was not found my app/autoloader.php:

...
$loader->add('Tinify', __DIR__.'/../vendor/tinify/tinify/lib');
...

and my file where i want to use it looks like it:

<?php

namespace XYZ\NewsBundle\Controller;
...

use Tinify;

class NewsController extends Controller{
...
public function displayAction($slug)
{
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

    $external = new \Tinify();
}

error is as follow The autoloader expected class "Tinify" to be defined in file "xyz/app/../vendor/tinify/tinify/lib\Tinify.php". The file was found but the class was not in it, the class name or namespace probably has a typo.

but file under vendor\tinify\tinify\lib\Tinify.php

namespace Tinify;

const VERSION = "1.3.0";

class Tinify {
...
}

i checked if it really has typo but don't see one

Answer 1

Full qualified class name of Tinify is not Tinify but \Tinify\Tinify. Its namespace + classname.

In you NewsController class you should do:

use \Tinify\Tinify;

Also note the backslash at the beginning of the namespace.

Then in the code you should use just class name and not namespace so also change this:

$external = new \Tinify();

to this:

$external = new Tinify();
