The class is here (with instructions).

I have it added to application/libraries/randomorg

When I add $this->load->library(\'RandomOr

Answer 1

I know I've answered this question before I just can't find where and don't know what to search. So here it is: Codeigniter can only load single php file libraries (excluding drivers which is a different thing entirely). To load this kindof library (namespaced) you have to use something like: https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-4-autoloader-examples.md (class example).

Let's call it Autoloader_psr4 and save it in libraries (modify the class declaration to match this name verbatim (e.g. Autoloader_psr4). Remove the namespace declaration in the class so it looks like: https://pastebin.com/NU8Rbp7Y

Let's also move all the files in src/randomorg/ to just be in a folder in third_party called RandomOrg e.g. application/third_party/RandomOrg. Your folder should look like the contents here: https://github.com/defiant/randomorg/tree/master/src/randomorg

Usage:

$this->load->library('autoloader_psr4');
$this->autoloader_psr4->register();
$this->autoloader_psr4->addNamespace('RandomOrg', APPPATH . 'third_party/RandomOrg');
$random = new \RandomOrg\Client(); // or whatever...
