<?php
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
// from this:
$app = new Slim();

1,735 PointsThank you very much. You saved me a lot of time. :)

Nizam Uddin
1,735 PointsI am using XAMPP. My Index.php code:
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
//date_default_timezone_get('Asia/Dhaka');
/*$log = new Monolog\Logger('name');
$log->pushHandler(new Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler('app.log', Logger::WARNING));
$log->addWarning('Foo');*/
$app = new Slim();
$app->get("/", function () {
echo "<h1>Hello Slim World</h1>";
});
$app->run();
?>
And composer.json code:
{
"name": "nizam/test",
"authors": [
{
"name": "Nizam Uddin",
"email": "nishatsikder@protonmail.com"
}
],
"require": {
"monolog/monolog": "^1.17",
"slim/slim": "^2.6"
}
}

Courses Plus Student 17,967 Pointsedited comment for format code.
Kevin Korte
28,149 PointsYep, I agree with Ted. You either need to do
<?php
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
or change your index.php to add a use Slim\Slim to the very top. Like So
<?php
use Slim\Slim;
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
//date_default_timezone_get('Asia/Dhaka');
/*$log = new Monolog\Logger('name');
$log->pushHandler(new Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler('app.log', Logger::WARNING));
$log->addWarning('Foo');*/
$app = new Slim();
$app->get("/", function () {
echo "<h1>Hello Slim World</h1>";
});
$app->run();
?>

Courses Plus Student 17,967 PointsThe require line is interesting. I have:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
I have seen a number of people that have this, though:
<?php
require __DIR__ . 'vendor/autoload.php';
My code runs in both development environments and at http://vetsrights.org. What is the difference?
Kevin Korte
28,149 Points__DIR__ will be the absolute path to the directory where __DIR__ is called.
In your examples, its the difference between using relative and absolute paths. Either work, and the smaller the application, the less it matters.
For example, in a dev localhost
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
might run as a filepath as
C:\xampp\htdocs\myapp/vendor/autoload.php
where that same line of code in a production ubuntu server might look like
/home/ubuntu/workspace/myapp/vendor/autoload.php
those are basically the same code base, var_dumped from my local XAMPP code and my Cloud9 workspace.
Ted Sumner
Courses Plus Student 17,967 PointsSo __DIR__ is something (a special constant or function or something else) that is built into PHP that returns the absolute path to the project root? I did notice the concatenation, so assumed it was something like that.
Kevin Korte
28,149 PointsYes, it's part of the core PHP library, known as a "magic" constant. Here is some more: http://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.predefined.php

11,491 PointsCreepy, but it works for me in the Workspace, but not on my Netbeans (Apache localhost). Any suggestion?
