PHP Requests Library within Codeigniter

Question

I\'m using the requests library (http://requests.ryanmccue.info/) for PHP.

I installed composer and added the following Json configuration in composer.json

Answer 1

You shouldn't need to add the autoload block to the composer.json, including the library in the require block will use the autoload configuration provided by the package.

You generally use an autoload block to configure loading of code that is not installed via a composer package.

You also need to require the composer autoload file, if you haven't already by

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

somewhere that will be run before the code that needs the composer libraries (generally it's in the "bootstrap" process)

And, you need to run composer install to actually install the configured dependencies.
