Neo4jPHP and CodeIgniter (Neo4j)

Question

How do you get Neo4jPHP to autoload as a library in CodeIgniter 2 ?

https://github.com/jadell/Neo4jPHP http://codeigniter.com/

Neo4jPHP is a wrapper for the Neo4j SERVER REST API.

I have the Neo4j server running and used PHP to populate the DB with many nodes and relationships.

Next STEP - start using a more complete PHP abstraction of the REST API - Neo4jPHP

But, I'm stuck at auto loading Neo4jPHP as a library in CodeIgniter.

I added: $autoload['libraries'] = array('Everyman/Neo4j');

And get: An Error Was Encountered : "Unable to load the requested class: neo4j"

I'm pulling my hair out over what should be a simple step to get going...

I'm the author of Neo4jPHP. I'm not that familiar with CI, but I worked up a quick blog post on a technique that I think might work. Please let me know if it does not, or it needs to be improved.

From the CI User Guide:

File names must be capitalized. For example:  Myclass.php 
Class declarations must be capitalized. For example:  class Myclass
Classnames and file names must match.

That's why CI is trying to construct object for class Neo4j. I suggest you create a wrapper class for the Neo4j interface.

Thanks for your answer. So linking it as a helper won't work also. That is terrible. – thinkadoo Aug 25 '11 at 10:40
