Hi all,
I'm trying to use the 3rd-party PHPExcel package in my ZF2 application. The
distribution ships with the following
directory structure:
/Classes
PHPExcel.php
/PHPExcel
[PSR-0 classes here]
In ZF1, I put the contents of the Classes dir in /library:
/library
PHPExcel.php
/PHPExcel
[classes]
In my application/Bootstrap.php's _initAutoload() I simply added
$loader->registerNamespace('PHPExcel') and the classes
were now available throughout my application. I should note that PHPExcel loads
its own autoloader at the top of the
base PHPExcel class. I don't know if that was used or not, but no errors were
tossed with the above configuration under ZF1.
ZF2's high regard for composer piqued my interest and I found that PHPExcel is
available as a package on Packagist, so I
added it to my composer.json and after a `php composer.phar update`, I had a
/phpoffice/phpexcel tree in /vendor.
Slick. Very slick. I can understand composer's appeal now.
I'm now expecting that I can add 'use PHPExcel;' in any file and start using
the library, but the following code tosses
a class-not-found exception:
$reader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReaderForFile('foo.xls');
However, when I use '\PHPExcel_IOFactory::', it works. Why do I need to use an
absolute namespace reference, especially
when that class doesn't "live" in '\'?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Brad
