  • configs (config directory)

    -- functions.php (this file contains the function for mailchimp)

How did you install mailchimp-api library? I see you mentioned git, did you just get a copy of code and put it in vendor directory? Can you post content of composer.json? - Nima
@Nima i installed it using composer, its included in composer.json - mirvatJ
Did you add correct namespace mapping for DrewM\MailChimp to composer.json and run composer dump-autoload? - Nima
@Nima yes {"require": { "drewm/mailchimp-api": "^2.4", - mirvatJ
Can you show us the part of code in which you include vendor/autoload.php, your use statements and where you include functions.php? - Nima

Probably the function class is not under the autoloader of Composer. You should add in the autoload section of the composer.json files as example:

"autoload": {
    "psr-0": { "": "./" },
    "files": ["configs/functions.php"]
}

And remove the require_once directive of functions.php from index.php

Hope this help

You need to include mailchimp in the functions.php

use \DrewM\MailChimp\MailChimp;

or you can use

function mailchimp(){
    $MailChimp = new \DrewM\MailChimp\MailChimp($apikey);
    $result = $MailChimp->get('lists');
    return $result;
}

and pass the $apikey in the class
