I have included autoload.php in the header of my site

include 'vendor/autoload.php';

From this i am receiving the following errors on my site:

Warning: require_once(DIR/composer/autoload_real.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/6/d416629391/htdocs/leftovercheese/vendor/autoload.php on line 5

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR/composer/autoload_real.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php5') in /homepages/6/d416629391/htdocs/leftovercheese/vendor/autoload.php on line 5

My code is:

// autoload.php generated by Composer

require_once __DIR__ . '/composer' . '/autoload_real.php';

return ComposerAutoloaderInit8be239f5caef32db03f87bb271ed6012::getLoader();

PHP Version: 5.2.17

Any ideas?

You have to load vendor/autoload.php, which will autoload that file for you:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

This is assuming that your file is located at the same directory level as the vendor directory.

Otherwise, adjust.

run composer install

That will import your packages and create the vendor folder as well as the autoload script. Also, make sure your relative path is correct.

For me, I updated some folder names and these updated are not reflected in autoload_files.php and autoload_static.php. I just had to run php composer.phar dump-autoload.
