Message:

I am trying to use the library PDFparser using the composer.

I know it is installed in /home/servername/vendor/smalot/pdfparser

My php script is found in /home/servername/public_html/test.php

This is my code:

<?php

    ini_set('display_errors',true);

    include 'vendor/autoload.php';

    $parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();

?>

and this is the error I am getting:

    Warning: include(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/servername/public_html/test.php on line 3



Warning: include(): Failed opening 'vendor/autoload.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /home/servername/public_html/test.php on line 3



Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Smalot\PdfParser\Parser' not found in /home/servername/public_html/test.php:4 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/servername/public_html/test.php on line 4

What am I doing wrong? This is my first time using a php library

My Answer:
php
require '/home/servername/vendor/autoload.php';

use Smalot\PdfParser\Parser;

$parser = new Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseFile('/path/to/your/pdf/file.pdf');

$text = $pdf->getText();
echo $text;


Make sure to replace `/path/to/your/pdf/file.pdf` with the actual path to your PDF file. This code will parse the PDF file and output the text content.
