i have downloaded phpepub via composer then started to run the test file to understand how to use the library but it throws an error
Class 'com\grandt\EPub' not found
and then i started to view the test folder and opened the file exampletest1.php which also threw an error saying that
Class 'PHPePub\Core\Logger' not found
i'm thinking a way of working out this error for a while now checked the privileges (which is fine) also the file is also present in the folder here is the file structure of the library

You need to require the vendor/autoload.php
file in each file where you're using components installed using composer.
test.php :
<?php
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
//...
test/exampletest1.php
<?php
require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php');
//...
See Basic Usage - Autoloading in Composer Documentation.
In the root directory of your project, add "grandt/phpepub": ">=4.0.3"
to your composer dependencies and run composer install
.
Let's say your project directory structure is :
project
vendor
public
index.php
composer.json
When you run composer install
, Composer creates a directory vendor/
in the project root and generates an autoload
file vendor/autoload.php
.
To use the installed libraries in index.php, require the autoload file :
index.php :
<?php
require_once __DIR__."/../vendor/autoload.php";
//...
