Message:

I am working on a Laminas API tools (version 1.4) project. There is ZF1 library which I need in my code. the structure of library is:

DirectoryA

          .DirectoryB

            file1.php =====> DirectoryA_DirectoryA_className

as shown above class names are vendor prefix.

when I use this class in my code the use statement is like below:

use DirectoryA_DirectoryA_className

but in runtime I get Class DirectoryA_DirectoryA_className not found error.

my autoloading config in composer.json file:

 "autoload": {

   "psr-0": {

     "DirectoryA_": "/lib/DirectoryA/DirectoryB" 

   }

 },

also tried "DirectoryA_": "/lib/DirectoryA" ,"DirectoryA_": "/lib"

I am new in PHP, any help would be appreciated.

My Answer:
To use the Zend Framework 1 library in Laminas API tools, you can follow these steps:

1. Add the Zend Framework 1 library to your project's `vendor` directory. You can either download the library directly or use Composer to install it.

2. Create a new file in your project's root directory called `autoload.php` and add the following code to it:

php

spl_autoload_register(function($class) {
$class = ltrim($class, '\\');
if (strpos($class, 'Zend_') === 0) {
$file = str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $class) . '.php';
require_once 'vendor/ZendFramework1/library/' . $file;
}
});


3. Include the `autoload.php` file in your project's entry point file (e.g., `index.php`):

php
require_once 'autoload.php';


4. Now you can use the Zend Framework 1 library classes in your Laminas API tools project by simply instantiating them in your code:

php
$example = new Zend_Example_Class();


Make sure to replace `Zend_Example_Class` with the actual class name you want to use from the Zend Framework 1 library.

By following these steps, you should be able to autoload and use the Zend Framework 1 library in your Laminas API tools project.
