避免使用路径名Composer供应商/自动加载

Question

I used SSH to download composer and mailgun API Dependencies to my project. Now For sending an email I had all the code in a file mail.php that has include('PATH to vendor/autoload.php') and function send($to, $subject, $body) .

Now my problem is, when I try to include this file to send an email, include(PATH to vendor/autoload) varies every time as I include this file in different scripts which have different paths.

All I am trying to acheive here is : have a file that has all of my code with a require(vendor/autoload.php) . And everytime I need to send a email in a different script, I just want to include the file that has require(vendor/autoload.php) without having the PATH everytime.

Is that possible and how can I do it.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need to use __DIR__ magic constant to make path to vendor/autoload.php absolute. For example:

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

In this way it will always point to the same file regrades of place where you include/run this file.
