Yii Extending Request Component returns 500 error

Question

I'm trying to extend the Request component of Yii2 as our previous Yii1 project extended CHttpRequest, but all I get is a 500 error no matter what I try. My config is as follow:

'components' => [
    'request' => [
        'class' => 'app\components\MY_HttpRequest',
        'cookieValidationKey' => '...',
    ],
    ...
],

Then in //components/MY_HttpRequest.php, even with an empty class that would just call the parent's method:

<?php

//namespace app\components;
namespace app\components\MY_HttpRequest;

use Yii;

class MY_HttpRequest extends yii\web\Request {
}

It displays a 500 error, so I can't really debug this as I don't have any feedback. I searched on Google how to extend the Request component but all I found was a question on how to extend the Response component, and I'm already using that method with no success.

There are no details about the error (Only using example.com as example):

Moreover, if I change this line like such:

'class' => 'app\components\MY_HttpRequestaaaaaaaaaaaaaa',

I get an error that the file is not found, so I know the file is being loaded.

A typical 500 server error, I don't have any details, but I added a screenshot if this can somehow help — NaturalBornCamper, Apr 13 '18 at 19:15
Can you show all content of `components/MY_HttpRequest.php` file? — rob006, Apr 13 '18 at 19:25
Arrgh!! I got it! forgot a simple tiny backslash I had missed! "extends \yii\web\Request", not "extends yii\web\Request" — NaturalBornCamper, Apr 13 '18 at 19:39

Change your class and file name to MYHttpRequest and it will be work

'components' => [
    'request' => [
        'class' => 'app\components\MYHttpRequest',
        'cookieValidationKey' => '...',
    ],
]

And components/MYHttpRequest.php

namespace app\components;

class MYHttpRequest extends \yii\web\Request {

}

Thanks for the suggestion friend, however I had already tried that and it didn't work :/ – NaturalBornCamper Apr 13 '18 at 19:17
i hope your components/MYHttpRequest.php file have namespace like `namespace app\components;` ? – Denis Ostrovsky Apr 13 '18 at 19:21
I copied your code, replace "_" symbol, and problem solved for me – Denis Ostrovsky Apr 13 '18 at 19:23
Tried namespace app\components; AND namespace app\components\MYHttpRequest; still doesn't want to work... I don't get it – NaturalBornCamper Apr 13 '18 at 19:27
I got it friend! I rewrote another class in a new blank project and it was just a typo! I wrote "extends yii\web\Request" instead of "extends \yii\web\Request" – NaturalBornCamper Apr 13 '18 at 19:39

Turn out I had just forgotten a tiny backslash in my "extend" statement.

class MY_HttpRequest extends yii\web\Request

Should have been

class MY_HttpRequest extends \yii\web\Request
