PSR-4 Autoloading option is not loading classes in my project?

Question

When I try to load my classes using psr-4 autoloading option, I get this error 'Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'HomeController' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\gacho\App\Core\Application.php:17 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\gacho\public\index.php(16): App\Core\Application->__construct() #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\gacho\App\Core\Application.php on line 17 ' Here is my code structure and code:

code structure:

|gacho

     |- index.php
  |-vendor
     |- composer
        |- autoload_classmap.php
     |- autoload.php

index.php:

<?php

use App\Core\Application;

define('ROOT', dirname(__DIR__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
define('APP', ROOT . 'App' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
define('CONTROLLER', ROOT . 'App' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'Controller' .

composer.json:

        "App\\": "App/"
      }

Application.php:

<?php

    protected $controller = 'HomeController';

{
    $request = trim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/');
    if (!empty($request)) {
        $url = explode('/', $request);
        $this->controller = isset($url[0]) ? $url[0].'Controller' : 'HomeController';
        $this->action = isset($url[1]) ? $url[1] : 'index';
        unset($url[0], $url[1]);
        $this->params = !empty($url) ? array_values($url) : [];
     }
  }
}

HomeController.php:

<?php
 namespace App\Controller;

 use App\Core\Controller;

 class HomeController extends Controller
 {
    public function index($id= '', $name='')
    {
       $this->view('home\index', [
         'name' => $name,
         'id' => $id
      ]);
      $this->view->page_title = 'Home Page';
      $this->view->render();
    }

    public function users()
    {
       $this->view('home\users', []);
       $this->view->page_title = 'Users';
       $this->view->render();
    }
}

Please provide a [mcve]. Also, verify that the steps required to reproduce the behaviour actually work. In particular, take care that the way the autoloader is generated has an influence... BTW: According to the widely-accepted https://www.php-fig.org/psr, your classname `homeController` is invalid. Consider not breaking these conventions, it makes things easier. — Ulrich Eckhardt, Feb 04 '19 at 18:10

The FQCN is App\Core\Application and the path is app\core\Application.php. Using PSR-4 it will try to load from App\Core\Application.php, but that path does not exist (at least not in a case sensitive file system).

Your best option is to change the directory structure to match the namespaces. They need to match exactly, including case.

It's running on MS Windows, telling from one of the error messages. – Ulrich Eckhardt Feb 04 '19 at 18:11
Looks like it. Still, path and namespace do not match exactly, and that is the problem. – Arjan Feb 04 '19 at 18:15
@Arjan It's runs on Windows 7. I changed every directory to match the namespaces and hit composer-dumpautoload I still get almost the same error, just with changed lower cases ' Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'HomeController' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\gacho\App\Core\Application.php:17 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\gacho\public\index.php(16): App\Core\Application->__construct() #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\gacho\App\Core\Application.php on line 17' Also if it helps when I remove name HomeController from protected $controller in Application.php I dont get error just blank page. – rose Feb 04 '19 at 19:06
