namespace path problem

[star2017]

Hi,

I am getting this error. I dont know how to troubleshoot it. I am using XAMPP on Windows 8.1 machine.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'xampp\php\pear\Product' not found in F:\xampp\htdocs\brackets-dev\index.php:11 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in F:\xampp\htdocs\brackets-dev\index.php on line 11

 

 

I have a class called Product in F:\xampp\php\pear\Product.php

include_path=F:\xampp\php\PEAR  (php.ini)

 

<?php

namespace \php\pear; # convencion: nombre NAMESPACE = nombre CARPETA contenedora

class Product # convencion: nombre CLASE = nombre ARCHIVO

{

    protected $name;

    public function __construct($name)

    {

        $this->name = $name;

    }

}

 

I am trying to instantiate this class in index.php which is in F:\xampp\htdocs\brackets-dev\index.php  contains this code.

 

<?php

 

include  'Product.php';

 

use xampp\php\pear\Product;

$product_one = new Product('colador');

 

I clearly have a issue with namespace definition and possibly use xampp\php\pear\Product

 

I have tried many things. Googling a lot... and nothing.

 

Help would be much much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

You don't seem to understand the difference between namespaces and paths. The namespace you've chosen for your Product class is

\php\pear

There is no “xampp” anywhere, so your use statement is nonsensical.

 

In any case, both your paths and the namespaces are very poor. Namespaces are supposed to be meaningful. For example, PSR-4 recommends using the top-level namespace for the vendor (e. g. your company). Sub namespaces can then be used to divide the vendor namespace into logical units:

\YourCompany\Models\Product

Why are you putting your own classes into the PEAR directory? Put them into your project into a sensible directory structure, set up an autoloader, and you're done.
