Getting Started example doesn't work...

[zanj2006]

Hi,

the example on page https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPPowerPoint doesn't work... Still getting error like this:
Fatal error: Class 'PhpPowerpoint' not found in C:\projects\i\p\vendor\phpoffice\phppowerpoint\index.php on line 5

When I add name space prefix for: $objPHPPowerPoint = new PhpPowerpoint(); like
$objPHPPowerPoint = new \PhpOffice\PhpPowerpoint\PhpPowerpoint();

I'll get another errors...
Fatal error: Class 'Alignment' not found in C:\projects\i\p\vendor\phpoffice\phppowerpoint\index.php on line 28

Please help... I can't go further... Please can you update your example to be working? Or what should be done, to make it working...

Thanks, Jirka

@zanj2006 Have you included PHPPowerPoint source with composer or manually : http://phppowerpoint.readthedocs.org/en/master/installing.html#installation ?

[zanj2006]

With composer...
IMHO there is a problem with autoloader or some misuse of namespace (missing USE keyword)

[Progi1984]

Which version do you use ?

• dev-master
• dev-develop
• 0.4.0
• 0.2.0

Reference : https://packagist.org/packages/phpoffice/phppowerpoint

[zanj2006]

0.4.0

For instalation I used composer.json:

{
    "require": {
       "phpoffice/phppowerpoint": "dev-master"
    }
}

index.php:

<?php
require_once 'src/PhpPowerpoint/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpPowerpoint\Autoloader::register();

$objPHPPowerPoint = new PhpPowerpoint();

// Create slide
$currentSlide = $objPHPPowerPoint->getActiveSlide();
...

@zanj2006 If you use composer, you need to include its autoloader and no, the autoloader of PhpPowerpoint.

[zanj2006]

So now solved... There were two points...

1. Composer Autoloader was needed to incorporate - but it was not enough...
2. Aliasing of used Classes is at least as important... So making your example to be working I had to add after the autoload:

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpOffice\PhpPowerpoint\PhpPowerpoint;
use PhpOffice\PhpPowerpoint\IOFactory;
use PhpOffice\PhpPowerpoint\Style\Color;
use PhpOffice\PhpPowerpoint\Style\Alignment;

$objPHPPowerPoint = new PhpPowerpoint(); // without USE aliasing can't find the class file...

Thank for your help...

@zanj2006 Thank you for your feedback. I just fixed the sample in Readme with your feedback in 98b9a3b.

You should probably fix your site as well. The example given is wrong. It took me quite some time to figure out it wasn't working.
