I know that this issue has been posted many times, but for me it seems to be a different problem.

Indeed, this error

Warning: require(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\site_web\send_mail.php on line 3

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\site_web\send_mail.php on line 3

appears at the begining of my code from this line:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

So, I guess there must be a /vendor/autoload.php file somewhere in my computer (I have installed composer and ran composer require phpmailer/phpmailer

So, I looked for this file using: dir /s autoload.php in the Windows command line, and found one here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vendor\autoload.php,

but for me, syswow64 folder has nothing to see with autoload.php, I don't see what I am missing here.

Thanks

composer-php phpmailer

This can also occur if you have php artisan up or down in your composer.json file in the scripts section on pre-install. It seems to need files in the vendor folder to execute the maintenance mode, which isn't available as yet. – Thomas Mar 2 at 10:18

What you're missing is running composer install, which will import your packages and create the vendor folder, along with the autoload script.

Make sure your relative path is correct. For example the example scripts in PHPMailer are in examples/, below the project root, so the correct relative path to load the composer autoloader from there would be ../vendor/autoload.php.

The autoload.php you found in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vendor\autoload.php is probably a global composer installation - where you'll usually put things like phpcs, phpunit, phpmd etc.

How do I run composer install? It's not recognised as a command – Yvonne Aburrow Mar 16 '17 at 9:41

Go to getcomposer.org and install it as directed. – Synchro Mar 16 '17 at 9:55
thanks, found that, and have downloaded it - but it asks me where PHP is installed locally. I don't really want to install PHP locally (or Composer) I just want to run it on my Google Cloud app. – Yvonne Aburrow Mar 16 '17 at 10:52

Google cloud for PHP provides composer to install its dependencies, you just need to set it up, see here: cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/php/… – Synchro Mar 16 '17 at 11:04

Yes, google cloud will need to run composer install and it will then read the contents of your composer.json file and install all your dependencies into the vendor folder. If it's not doing that, I can only suggest reading the docs I pointed at and double-checking it all. This is really the distinction between "upload" and "deployment". – Synchro Mar 16 '17 at 11:23

If you get the error also when you run

composer install

Just run this command first

composer dump-autoload

This command will clean up all compiled files and their paths.

Proper `autoload.php` configuration:

A) Quick answer:

Your autoload.php path is wrong. ie. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vendor\autoload.php To date: you need to change it to: C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor\autoload.php

B) Steps with example: We will take facebook/php-graph-sdk as an example; change to Package Name as needed.

Install composer.exe
Open CMD Prompt. + R + type CMD
Run This command: composer require facebook/graph-sdk
Include path in your PHP page: require_once 'C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor\autoload.php';
Define configuration Secrets and Access Token for your package...etc.
Happy codinig.

C) Further details:

Installing composer on windows will set this default path for your pacakges; you can find them there and include the autoloader path:

C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor

For the same question you asked; the answer was this path for WAMP Server 64 BIT for Windows.

Then simply in your PHP Application change this:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

To:

require_once 'C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\vendor\autoload.php';

Find your windows username under C:\Users\

Before all this, as pointed before in B) , you need to run this command:

composer require <package name>

for facebook php SDK for example:

composer require facebook/graph-sdk

Thank you for asking this question; appreciated as it helped me fix similar issue and ended writing this simple tutorial.

I had this path in my machine:

C:/xampp5.0/htdocs/project-recordando-symfony/project-recordando-symfony

Then I ran composer install or/and composer update and it returned this error:

ErrorException ZipArchive::extractTo...

That error is because your path is too much long, I changed to:

C:/xampp5.0/htdocs/p-symfony/*

and worked!

First make sure you have installed the composer.

composer install

If you already have installed then update the composer.

update composer

I was able to resolve by removing composer and reinstalling the proper way. Here is what I did:

sudo apt remove composer
sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove
Installed globally with the instructions from: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md Download from: https://getcomposer.org/installer global install: mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer (Note: I had to move mine to mv composer.phar /usr/bin/composer)

I was then able to get composer install to work again. Found my answer at the bottom of this issue: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/5510

***PHP Warning: require_once(C:\xampp\htdocs\test1/bootstrap/app.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\test1\artisan on line 20 Warning: require_once(C:\xampp\htdocs\test1/bootstrap/app.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\test1\artisan on line 20 PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\test1/bootstrap/app.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\test1\artisan on line 20

This problem due to the missing of bootstrap file in your project folder..This problem can not fix by using reinstalling or updating composer.. you can fix by using : if you have another project available just open that project and copy bootstrap file folder and past to your missing project folder for example: i have two project test 1 and test 2 (you can create your project by using cmd => Composer create-project laravel/laravel test 1 ) now go to atom and open project test 1 and test 2 . this error occurs in test 1,you can just copy bootstrap file from test 2 and past to test 1.save changes.. then go to cmd just type php artisan serve .. then your problem is solved.
