Location of MyProvider class when using phpqrcode and composer

[D4V3M0NK]

Am loving the fact that this is so easy to use, many congratulations sir.

I have one question regarding the MyProvider.php class location when using PHPQRCode as per qr-code-providers

1. I've placed the phpqrcode.php file in the same (composer) folder as TwoFactorAuth.php (./vendor/robthree/twofactorauth/lib)

2. I've created the MyProvider.php file in the Providers/Qr folder (./vendor/robthree/twofactorauth/lib/Providers/Qr/MyProvider.php).

   1. The notes refer to that file named as myprovider.php when creating it, but I believe it should be MyProvider.php?
   2. I also believe that the namespace should be placed above the require/require_once?

3. I've then taken your demo page, added my composer autoload.php to it and tried to get it working, but every time I attempt to run it, I get a missing phpqrcode.php file

Warning: require_once(../../phpqrcode.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vendor/robthree/twofactorauth/lib/Providers/Qr/MyProvider.php on line 3

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '../../phpqrcode.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/var/www/html/inc') in /var/www/vendor/robthree/twofactorauth/lib/Providers/Qr/MyProvider.php on line 3

• Am I missing something really obvious here?

• Should I not have placed those files in the vendor folder, but elsewhere in my application?

• I've attached a screenshot of my vendor folder structure in the hope that assists?

I've also amended the demo page - which works fine with or without autoloading composer - with the PHPQRCode implementation and that fails with the same error

The only way that I could get this working is to place the following at the top of my MyProvider.php file:
require_once __DIR__ . '/../../phpqrcode.php';

.. and then that leads to a

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'RobThree\Auth\Providers\Qr\QRCode' not found in /var/www/vendor/robthree/twofactorauth/lib/Providers/Qr/MyProvider.php:24

There appears to be a resolution to this at SO but I can't get that working as yet.

I also note, with some interest, that @willpower232 has BaconQrCode nearly working with this pull request - any updates on that? Ideally I want to be able to generate QrCodes locally...

Are you not using a composer-powered framework like Laravel?

It sounds like you aren't using namespaces quite right or need some use statements at the top of your new provider.

[D4V3M0NK]

I've got this is in a test environment at the moment @willpower232 - basic server with PHP and composer installed upon it as I'm investigating it's use. I've followed @RobThree's instructions to the tee (along with using some references from your pages) but it just doesn't seem to work.

Also, I don't believe using Laravel is a requirement, is it?

[willpower232]

Laravel isn't a requirement but it or another composer-powered framework would probably get you started easier.

Ordinarily, you wouldn't add files to the vendor folder yourself so that composer could be fully responsible for managing it.

I think you should keep your provider outside of the vendor folder completely with no namespace at the top of it. Then I would have an index.php next to it which looked something like this

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

require 'MyProvider.php';

$provider = new MyProvider();

$twoFa = new RobThree\Auth\TwoFactorAuth($issuer, 6, 30, 'sha1', $provider);

Hope this makes sense

Hi.

Little late to the party, sorry 'bout that.

I think @willpower232 is correct here. Did you solve your problem yet @D4V3M0NK ?

[D4V3M0NK]

Thanks for all your help - finally (!) got the PHP QrCode generation working locally this evening. Thanks for all your guidance!

All credit to @willpower232 👊 👍
