I am trying to make my own mock MVC framework as a project. This is my first time using composer outside of using it for requiring dependencies for Laravel. The actual autoloading works well, but when I try to autoload the helpers.php something weird happens. The file is autoloaded(if I change the path of the file I get the file not found error) but the contents inside it are not. In another file I try to call any function from the helpers.php file and I get

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function

This is the file structure of the example

• composer.json


• App
  
  
  
  • Utils
    
    
    
    • helpers.php
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  


• public
  
  
  
  • index.php
  
  
  
  

This is my composer.json file:

{

    "name": "admin/projecttest",

    "autoload": {

        "psr-4": {

            "Admin\\Projecttest\\": "src/",

            "App\\": "App/"

        },

        "files": [

            "App/Utils/helpers.php"

        ]

    },

    "minimum-stability": "dev"

}

The helpers.php

<?php



namespace App\Utils;



use Leonlav77\Frejmcore\helpers\DotEnv;



function config($config){

   $config = explode(".", $config);

   $file = $config[0];

   $configFile = require "../config/$file.php";

   return $configFile[$config[1]];

}



function env($key, $default = null){

   (new DotEnv(__DIR__ . '../../.env'))->load();

   return getenv($key) ? getenv($key) : $default;

}



function baseDir(){

   return __DIR__ . "/../";

}

index.php (where I call the function from the helper)

<?php



require "../vendor/autoload.php";





var_dump(function_exists('baseDir'));

var_dump(baseDir());

from the function_exists I get false

My Answer:
{
"autoload": {
"files": ["App/Utils/helpers.php"]
}
}
