AWS PHP SDK getting class not found fatal error

Question

I'm trying to read messages from my SQS but I can't get that far as I'm having trouble installing the PHP SDK.

I followed the instructions and installed via composer.

My code for testing purposes is:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$sqs_credentials = array(
        'region' => 'us-west-2',
        'version' => 'latest',
        'credentials' => array(
            'key'    => '*****',
            'secret' => '**********',
        )
    );

    $sqs_client = new SqsClient($sqs_credentials);

This simply results in

Class 'SqsClient' not found in /var/www/html/sqs_test.php on line 10

I then tried by downloading the zip file directly and used

require 'aws/aws-autoloader.php';

This resulted in the exact same error. What am I doing wrong? I'm quite certain the path is accurate as I can output text directly on Sqs/SqsClient.php.

Still not sure why the above didn't work, but if anyone is trying, this does work:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Aws\Sqs\SqsClient;

$client = SqsClient::factory(array(
        'region' => 'us-west-2',
        'version' => 'latest',
        'credentials' => array(
            'key'    => '********',
            'secret' => '********',
        )
    )
);

$result = $client->receiveMessage(array(
    'QueueUrl' => $sqs_url
));
print_r($result);
