I'm trying to build a class with some frequently used functions that I can use from anywhere in my project. I don't know where to build the PHP file with the classes in it or how to recall them... Can anyone help me figure out where all this stuff fits in? THANKS!!!

/App/Http/Helpers/MyClasses.php

<?php



class PopularFunctions {

  public function sayhi() {

    echo 'hi';

  }

}



?>

/App/Http/Controllers/TasksController.php

<?php



namespace AppHttpControllers;



use AppHttpHelpersMyClasses;



class TasksController extends Controller {



  public function index() {



    $myfunctions = new PopularFunctions();

    $myfunctions->sayhi();



  }



}

This returns: Class 'AppHttpControllersPopularFunctions' not found.

In Laravel Framework you can only create a controller inside the appHttpController folder. If you want to create a custom class then created inside app folder.

Example:

File: appFAReports.php

namespace App;

Class FAReports {

// DEF //

}

create a directory say "Helpers" inside App/Http

create one class inside Helpers directory CustomAvatar.php

<?php



class CustomAvatar{

    public $default_avatar='avatar.png';



    public function make_custom_avatar(){

        // do your operation here

    }

}



?>

now if you want to use this class inside your controller :

use AppHttpHelpersCustomAvatar;



 ...



 public function create_user(){



 $customAvatar=new CustomAvatar();

 $defaultAvatar = $customAvatar->default_avatar;



 $user=new User();

 $user->avatar=$defaultAvatar;

 $user->save();



 }

1. Through Composer

App/Http/Helpers/MyClasses.php

<?php

function sayhi() {

    echo 'hi';

}

?>

then in composer.json in "autoload": { } add

"files": [

    "app/Http/Helpers/MyClasses.php"

]

so the structure will be

"autoload": {

    "classmap": [

        "database/seeds",

        "database/factories"

    ],

    "psr-4": {

        "App\": "app/"

    },

    "files": [

        "app/Http/Helpers/MyClasses.php" 

    ]

},

after you change the autoload. Then run composer dump-autoload

then in controller just call the function in your helpers

public function index() {

  $res = say_hi();

}

2. Class

App/Http/Helpers/MyClasses.php

<?php

namespace AppHttpHelpers;

class MyClassess {

    function sayhi() {

        echo 'hi';

    }

}



?>

In your controller

<?php



namespace AppHttpControllers;



use AppHttpHelpersMyClasses;



class TasksController extends Controller {



  public function index() {



    $myfunctions = new MyClasses();

    $res = $myfunctions->sayhi();



  }



}
