Autoloading code <?php ! require 'vendor/autoload.php'; ! $foo = new
\Acme\Foo\Bar\Baz(); // src/Foo/Bar/Baz.php
{ "require": { "monolog/monolog": "1.10.*" }, ! "autoload": { "psr-4":
{"Acme\\": "src/Foo/Bar/"} } }
Autoloading code <?php ! require 'vendor/autoload.php'; ! $foo = new
\Acme\Baz(); // src/Foo/Bar/Baz.php
<?php ! namespace Acme; ! class Baz{ ! function __construct()
{ echo "Hello, World"; } }
{ "require": { "monolog/monolog": "1.10.*" }, ! "autoload": { "psr-4":
{ "Acme\\": "src/", "Vendor\\Namespace\\": "" } } }
“What About Functions?”
{ "require": { "monolog/monolog": "1.10.*" }, ! "autoload": { "psr-4":
{"Acme\\": "src/"}, "files": ["src/functions.php"] } }
