Using an old PEAR package on Laravel

I'm trying to use this package on Laravel 5.1.x. https://packagist.org/packages/pear/console_table

Doesn't seem to work out of the box because of the naming. File name is Table.php and class name is Console_Table.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to successfully do something like this in the past?

ie. Make an old package work with Laravel

Solution

  • If you install a package via composer, you have to use the autoloader generated by composer. Using PEAR's require_once statements does not work with packagist packages.
