Laravel 4 using vendor classes


Take a look at your vendor\composer\autoload_classmap.php file. In there you will find a list of all vendor classes that are being autoloaded. I think all classes will have to be called using their full namespaced name.

E.g.

I'm using Zizaco's Entrust package. This is what it looks like in the vendor\composer\autoload_classmap.php file.

'Zizaco\\Entrust\\Entrust' => $vendorDir . /zizaco/entrust/src/Zizaco/Entrust/Entrust.php',

If I wanted to access the Entrust.php class I have to call

$en = new Zizaco\Entrust\Entrust();

Alternatively you could alias certain classes in your app\config\app.php file.

E.g.

'Ent'         => 'Zizaco\Entrust\Entrust'

In your case you'll need to do something like this:

$yt = new Zend\namespace\Zend_Gdata_YouTube();
