PHP - Php Structure With Composer Does Not Work In Production

I want to install this package: https://github.com/composer/installers from GitHub, I can easily git clone it but I think its better I get experienced with composer. In the readme they onyl give one example, one involving CakePHP:

{
    "name": "you/ftp",
    "type": "cakephp-plugin",
    "require": {
        "composer/installers": "~1.0"
    }
}

but I that isn't much help to me since I'm not making composer.json files to hold a single framework or plugin, my json files look more like this:

{
    "name": "example-app",
    "require": {
        "cakephp/cakephp": ">=2.5.1",
		"cakephp/debug_kit": "2.2.*",
		"slywalker/boost_cake": "*",
		"CakeDC/tags": "1.*",
		"CakeDC/utils": "*",
		"CakeDC/migrations": "*",
		"FriendsOfCake/crud": "*",
		"CakeDC/search": "*",
		"paulredmond/chosen-cakephp": "*"
    },
    "config": {
        "vendor-dir": "Vendor/"
    },
	"extra": {
		"installer-paths": {
			"app/Plugin/Tags": ["CakeDC/tags"],
			"app/Plugin/BoostCake": ["slywalker/boost_cake"]
		}
	}
}

Right now I'm working on a WordPress one and it is 10 times longer than that. So what I was wondering is if its better to split it up into a few composer.json files. As in one file for setting up the framework and configuring it, when its done, it calls a second composer.json file that will take care of installing the plugins. Like this I suppose I could store a bunch of composer.json files in a central location, each of them has a specific purpose, so if I need to use one of them for a project, I just call composer.phar file (which I can access globally), and use that global keywork to make the json file operate like its in my projects directory. I don't understand what this autoload thing is about at all, but its nice the way it lets you run scripts at particular times during the execution of the json file.   Is this actually a better way to work with composer, by chaining separate composer.json files together? A big issue is the name conflict thing, is there a way to make composer.phar process files with different names? It be a pain in the ass having to make the scripts alter the filenames. That gets me thinking about something. Can we define variables in composer.json files? If not, I suppose its not very hard to do it anyway by editing the file. I was thinking there that a composer file generator would be pretty useful. Like say on CakePHPs website, theres a page that lets you check plugins and features that you want for your new installation, then it makes a composer.json file for you.

Hi.   My sys admin guy has informed me that installing composer is unlikely. They're a bit jumpy about security around here.   I tried to download and run Laravel on it's own but I'm getting errors when I go to http://example.com/t...laravel/public/

Warning: require(/var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/var/www/html/php/includes:/jpa/release/jpa/includes:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php/phpmailer:/apache/htdocs/applications/surveys/Includes:/var/lib/ZF1/library') in /var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17

I'm very new to Laravel and I am basically assuming that the reason for these errors is because i haven't installed all the various dependancies. And that you can only install all the dependancies through Composer. Is this the case?   I downloaded the Laravel framework from GitHub   Unfortunately.. My only real experience of PHP Frameworks is CodeIgniter. So I've never expoled/used "packages" or "dependancies" and don't really know where they are, or where they go, or what they do!   I managed to get Laravel up and running on my personal computer (using Composer).... But, as I've said, I might not be able to do this on my day job server. Any tips?   ----- Update -----   Is there a chance I am just misunderstanding the word "Dependancies"? It's not a word I often use. Does it just mean "The PHP files that make up the Laravel Framework"?

Quick question about the dependency manager Composer with PHP. I have it installed and am pulling in a few libraries, it works pretty well as far as I can tell. I have a question that might be dumb, so I apologize in advance.

When connecting to your application it's still required to use the lines similar to the following?

<script src="vendor/components/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" >

Also I'm trying to figure out how to install the x3dom library, but cannot get composer to do it. (https://www.x3dom.org/)

I think I am close, but not sure if I am quite there.  Am I doing this correctly?

I have several entity classes which will use class type inheritance:

MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\Vehicle
    MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\AirVehicle
        MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\Airplane\Airplane
        MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\Rocket\Rocket
    MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\GroundVehicle\GroundVehicle
        MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\GroundVehicle\Car\Car
        MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\GroundVehicle\Train\Train
                
The entity meta data is as follows:

#MyNamespace.MyApp.Vehicle.Vehicle.dcm.yml
MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\Vehicle:
    type: entity
    table: vehicle_table
    inheritanceType: JOINED
    discriminatorColumn:
        name: discriminator_column
        type: string
    discriminatorMap:
        vehicle: Vehicle
        groundVehicle: MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\GroundVehicle\GroundVehicle
        airVehicle: MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\AirVehicle
    repositoryClass: Vehicle
    id:
        id:
            type: integer
            generator:
                strategy: AUTO
    fields:
        grandParentItem1:
            type: string
        grandParentItem2:
            type: string

#MyNamespace.MyApp.Vehicle.AirVehicle.AirVehicle.dcm.yml
MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\AirVehicle:
    type: entity
    table: air_vehicle
    extends: MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\Vehicle
    inheritanceType: JOINED
    discriminatorMap:
        airVehicle: AirVehicle
        airplane: MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\Airplane\Airplane
        rocket: MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\Rocket\Rocket
    repositoryClass: AirVehicle
    id:
        id:
            associationKey: true
    fields:
        parentItem1:
            type: string
        parentItem2:
            type: string

#MyNamespace.MyApp.Vehicle.AirVehicle.Rocket.Rocket.dcm.yml
MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\Rocket\Rocket:
    extends: MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\AirVehicle
    type: entity
    table: rocket_table
    id:
        id:
            associationKey: true
    repositoryClass: Rocket
    fields:
        childItem1:
            type: string
        childItem2:
            type: string

I haven't shown GroundVehicle or Train, Car, and Airplane, but they are almost identical to AirVehicle and Rocket, respectively.

I've discovered that the barebone entities need to be manually created prior to using orm:generate-entities else I get class not found errors, and have created them as shown below.
        
inheritance_src/MyNamespace/MyApp/Vehicle/Vehicle.php
    inheritance_src/MyNamespace/MyApp/Vehicle/AirVehicle/AirVehicle.php
        inheritance_src/MyNamespace/MyApp/Vehicle/AirVehicle/Airplane/Airplane.php
        inheritance_src/MyNamespace/MyApp/Vehicle/AirVehicle/Rocket/Rocket.php
    inheritance_src/MyNamespace/MyApp/Vehicle/GroundVehicle/GroundVehicle.php
        inheritance_src/MyNamespace/MyApp/Vehicle/GroundVehicle/Car/Car.php
        inheritance_src/MyNamespace/MyApp/Vehicle/GroundVehicle/Train/Train.php

[michael@devserver doctrine]$ find inheritance_src -name "*.php" -exec cat {} \;
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\Airplane;
class Airplane extends \MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\AirVehicle{}
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\Rocket;
class Rocket extends \MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle\AirVehicle{}
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\AirVehicle;
abstract class AirVehicle extends \MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\Vehicle{}
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\GroundVehicle\Car;
class Car extends \MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\GroundVehicle\GroundVehicle{}
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\GroundVehicle\Train;
class Train extends \MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\GroundVehicle\GroundVehicle{}
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\GroundVehicle;
abstract class GroundVehicle extends \MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\Vehicle{}
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle;
abstract class Vehicle{}

I then am able to successfully create the entities using orm:generate-entities, schema using orm:schema-tool:create, and repositories using orm:generate-repositories.

Does everything seem correct?

A couple of issues which I have my doubts:

Locating the classes in inheritance_src/MyNamespace/MyApp instead of inheritance_src/MyApp.  I tried to do the later and modify my psr-4 autoloader to use "MyNamespace\\": "inheritance_src/", but could not get it working without first creating the entities, editing them to add the "abstract" and "extend" portions, and then moving them to one directory lower. Needing to manually create the barebone classes in the first place.  My meta-data definitions includes "extends: MyNamespace\MyApp\Vehicle\Vehicle", so I would thought it would not be necessary. Locate both the entities and repositories in the same folder.  For that matter, I will probably be locating my service in the same folder as well.  It seems that most frameworks will locate all the entities in one folder (with of course subdirectories), repositories in another, services in another, etc.  The way I am doing seems to be organized domain modules as described by https://mnapoli.fr/organizing-code-into-domain-modules/.  Any compelling reasons to do it one way or the other?

Thank you
 

I just updated a site as follows:

cd /var/www/concrete5
composer update

Among other changes, the following were made (more on this later):

  - Updating concrete5/core (8.5.2 => 8.5.4): Downloading (100%)
  - Updating doctrine/collections (1.6.4 => 1.6.5): Downloading (100%)
  - Updating doctrine/lexer (1.2.0 => 1.2.1): Downloading (100%)
  - Updating doctrine/inflector (1.3.1 => 1.4.3): Downloading (100%)
  - Updating doctrine/cache (1.10.0 => 1.10.1): Downloading (100%)
  - Updating doctrine/annotations (1.10.2 => 1.10.3): Downloading (100%)
  - Updating doctrine/common (2.12.0 => 2.13.3): Downloading (100%)
  - Updating doctrine/instantiator (1.3.0 => 1.3.1): Downloading (100%)
  - Updating doctrine/orm (v2.7.2 => v2.7.3): Downloading (100%)

When accessing the site, I now have the following error:

errno: 150 "Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed

I expected I should have first used concrete5's update script, but too late for that.  So, then I changed composer.json require concrete5/core from ^8.5 to 8.5.2 hoping to return to the previous state.

Concreete5 was downgraded as desired, but now I get the following error:

Class 'Doctrine\Common\Persistence\Mapping\Driver\MappingDriverChain' not found

On another concrete5 site which still works, I have the following two files, however, on the broken one I only have the second:

vendor/doctrine/persistence/lib/Doctrine/Common/Persistence/Mapping/Driver/MappingDriverChain.php:13:    class MappingDriverChain extends \Doctrine\Persistence\Mapping\Driver\MappingDriverChain vendor/doctrine/persistence/lib/Doctrine/Persistence/Mapping/Driver/MappingDriverChain.php:17:class MappingDriverChain implements MappingDriver

So, now I will attempt to downgrade doctrine from 2.7.3 to 2.7.2.  The base composer.json file has no reference to Doctrine, but there are two other related composer files:

vendor/concrete5/doctrine-xml/composer.json

    }
}

Neither seem to be applicable, but the doctrine version has to be specified somewhere.   How does composer determine which version and how can I downgrade the dependency package?  Thanks

 

PS.  As a hack solution, I replaced the entire vendor/doctrine directory from one from another site, and have things working.  Still, want to know how to do this right.

According to I would like to try to use JWT for my PHP and these are my step

on domain/app/
composer require firebase/php-jwt

so I have 
domain/app/login.php
domain/app/vendor/firebase/...

and on the login.php

        try{
        
        echo "1";
            require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
            
            use firebase\JWT\JWT;
            echo "2";
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            echo 'Caught exception: ',  $e->getMessage(), "\n";
        }

It's not show any thing and error "HTTP ERROR 500"
I think the code is really find the autoload.php but I don't know why it's internet error on line 
use firebase\JWT\JWT;
If I add this command, the PHP will be error 500
 

I've got my own proprietary framework. I call it Brain. It uses composer, and installation is done with a single composer file, which is handy. Here's an example:

{
    "name": "skunkbad/brain-test",
    "description": "My Awesome App",
    "license": "proprietary",
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "hg",
            "url": "ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/skunkbad/brain"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "skunkbad/brain": "default"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": "Brain\\Statics\\BrainInstallScript::run"
    }
}

Brain has it's own dependencies, which aren't all really dependencies, but I've added them all to its composer.json file so I get everything I want for a new project. Here is it's composer.json:

{
    "name": "skunkbad/brain",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "type": "framework",
    "license": "Proprietary",
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "Robert B Gottier",
            "email": "xXxXxXxXx@gmail.com",
            "homepage": "http://brianswebdesign.com",
            "role": "Developer"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "pimple/pimple"          : "v2.0.0",
        "swiftmailer/swiftmailer": "v5.2.0",
        "dompdf/dompdf"          : "0.6.1",
        "phpseclib/phpseclib"    : "0.3.6",
        "stripe/stripe-php"      : "v1.15.0",
        "firephp/firephp-core"   : "dev-master",
        "doctrine/dbal"          : "v2.4.2"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": { 
            "Brain\\": "/",
            "App\\": "../../../App/"
        },
        "classmap": [
        	"Statics/"
        ]
    }
}

In Windows terminal, I can run composer install or composer install --prefer-dist, and it seems that especially when the doctrine packages are being downloaded or cloned (whatever it does), its super slow. Some of them hang for so long that occasionally the terminal will give me a message indicating a particular package timed out (5 mins).   So I was wondering if this is just the norm. Feels like I'm on dial-up, but my internet connection is Verizon FiOS (fiber optic). Here is an example of the time-out message I get from Composer:     Failed to download doctrine/common from source: The process "git clone --no-checkout "git://github.com/doctrine/common.git" "C:\XXXxxx" && cd /D "C:\XXXxxx" && git remote add composer "git://github.com/doctrine/common.git" && git fetch composer" exceeded the timeout of 300 seconds.   I timed my install, and composer/common actually hung for about 7 mins. Total time was 9.5 mins.

Hallo, I have a strange problem with a freshly installed composer project that is not loading the dependencies as the documentation states it should.

I just made a new directory (www/site/test/), which has a index.php file, and I want to be able to use composer-installed dependencies from within the index.php file, inside the test folder; is this the wrong way to do it?

Do I need to place my project root somewhere else for it to work?

Dependencies are installed like this:

composer require phpmailer/phpmailer

For some strange reason, the autoloader is not loading the dependencies, and I simply get a class not found, without any explanation as to why it was not found. The thing is, I can get it to work by resorting to crazy hackery like: new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer()

But the documentation clearly states that I should be able to do new PHPMailer() - hope this makes sense.

This is what I have in my index.php:
 

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// define('BASE_PATH', rtrim(preg_replace('#[/\\\\]{1}#', '/', realpath(dirname(__FILE__))), '/') . '/');


// require BASE_PATH . 'vendor/autoload.php';
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

I notice plenty of CakePHP plugins don't have composer.json files in their github repositories (I'm not sure where composer downloads from if you don't specify a repository, is it github?) so I can't automatically download and update them. For composer to recognise and download the plugins, all thats needed is the composer.js file itself isn't it? Why wouldn't plugin authors just spend an extra 10 minutes and make a composer.js file? I'm guessing theres something I'm missing here, it must not be that simple. I only started using composer so I don't really know what its about yet.

I like to set up websites for people who don't have the know how to do it themselves, I mainly set them up wordpress sites cuz thats pretty easy for them to modify and maintain themselves. To save myself time, I decided to learn how to do it with Composer (what a brilliant tool that it). Can anyone who uses composer for this kinda thing, can you post your composer.json files here. Also, if anyone can show me a better way of doing things, it'd be much appreciated. Heres the one I made:

{
    "name": "acme/brilliant-wordpress-site",
    "description": "My brilliant WordPress site",
    "repositories":[
        {
            "type":"composer",
            "url":"http://wpackagist.org"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "johnpbloch/wordpress": ">=3.8.0",
        "wpackagist-plugin/captcha":">=3.9",
        "wpackagist-plugin/tinymce-advanced":">=4.0.0",
        "wpackagist-plugin/wordpress-importer":"*",
        "wpackagist-theme/hueman":"*",
        "wpackagist-theme/eclipse":"*",
        "wpackagist-theme/raindrops":"*"
    },
    "extra": {
	"installer-paths": {
		"mysite": ["johnpbloch/wordpress"],
		"mysite/wp-content/plugins/{$name}": ["type:wordpress-plugin"],
		"mysite/wp-content/themes/{$name}": ["type:wordpress-theme"]
        }
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-0": {
            "Acme": "src/"
        }
    }
}

I think I'm doing this in a silly way though. I read about these composer installer things on github, but I didn't figure out how to use them so instead I used the installer-paths key to make the autoloader put the files in the right place. Heres a composer.json file I found which is better cuz it uses a post installation script:

{
    "require": {
        "wordpress/core": "3.5.2",
        "wordpress/twentytwelve": "1.1",
        "wordpress/akismet": "2.5.7",
        "wordpress/google-sitemap-generator": "3.2.9",
        "wordpress/google-analytics-for-wordpress": "4.3.3",
        "wordpress/wordpress-importer": "0.6.1"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://raw.github.com/wordpressoncomposer/composer-repository/master/"
        },
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/wordpressoncomposer/installer"
        }
    ],
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": "Wordpress\\Composer\\InstallerTasks::wpConfig"
    },
    "extra": {
        "wordpress_coredir": "wordpress/core",
        "wordpress_wp_contentdir": "wordpress/wp-content",
        "wordpress_wp_config": {
            "site_url": "http://localhost",
            "db_host": "localhost",
            "db_user": "root",
            "db_pass": "",
            "db_name": "wordpress"
        }
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

I'm gonna start using these scripts once I figure out how to use them. Where are the scripts stored? I haven't a clue what this autoload thing is all about either, is it a tool for moving files into the appropriate directories? See how the first file gets wordpress from packagist, and the second one gets it from github. Is there a difference? If I was to add that post-install-cmd key to the first composer.json file, would it still work? In other words, do both repositories contain identical packages.

Dear All.

print_r($header);
$client = new SoapClient($operator);
$msg = array(

$requestmsg = array('msg'=>$msg);
echo '<br/>';
print_r($msg);
$data = $client->SendSMS($requestmsg);

print_r($data);
}

Error Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'SoapClient' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\sms\SEND_SMS\testSendSMS.php:27 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\sms\SEND_SMS\testSendSMS.php on line 27

 

I have multiple forms within one php file.

What is the best structure to use?

Code: [Select]
if (isset($_POST["one"])) {
    include...
}
if (isset($_POST["two"])) {
    include...
}
if (isset($_POST["three"])) {
    include...
}
OR

Code: [Select]
if (isset($_POST["one"])) {
    include...
}
else if (isset($_POST["two"])) {
    include...
}
else if (isset($_POST["three"])) {
    include...
}

thanks

I have a question.
Do you think that the code structure from php affect the SEO?
I mean if the application is made in basic php or OOP.

Hi. I am creating a database where a user can store up to 50 names of their family members. I have two table structures in mind and curious which one is the more efficient structure.


====================================================================================================

TABLE A:
userid-firstfamilymemberid-firstfamilymembername-secondfamilymemberid-secondfamilymembername        Note:(the columns would repeated until the fiftiethfamilymemberid and fiftiethfamilymembername for a total of 101 columns)     TABLE B:
userid-familymemberid-familymembername

======================================================================================================
which is more efficient... Table A which would have more columns but less rows or Table B which would have less rows but more columns.. also keep in mind that the fixed amount is 50 family members per a user. Thanks in advance.





 

Hello everyone

I want to know why are these functions discouraged because I have a problem

*****************
http://mx.php.net/manual/en/function.spliti.php
Warning
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
*****************

I have a long list of standard features of some products (90 features 1800 products) which I am integrating in a CMS. I have to elaborate a CREATE, READ and MODIFY section for the products and I was thinking of using check boxes and if statements with 90 columns in my DB for each feature. (I hope there is an easier way to do this)

Before I typed in all the features in one column and splited it with the previous functions mentioned, but it doesn't work for the modify section of the CMS.

I am trying to learn a method in which I can easily integrate this 90 standard features in the CMS. Does anyone has a good idea?
