OpenWeatherMap Class Not Found Error (NOT Installed through Composer)

[GermanPearls]

I wasn't able to install this through composer so I used php-download.com to pull the package from packagist, downloaded it as a zip and saved it on my server.

Here's the code where I called the API:

use cmfcmf_openweathermap_php_api_2_4_0\vendor\cmfcmf\openweathermap_php_api\Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap_Class;
use cmfcmf_openweathermap_php_api_2_4_0\vendor\cmfcmf\openweathermap_php_api\Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap\Exception as OWMException;
	
//Run Google Calendar API and Fetch Calendar Events
include '\cmfcmf_openweathermap_php_api_2_4_0\vendor\autoload.php';

$owm = new OpenWeatherMap('my API key in here');

I'm getting an error of "Fatal error: Class 'OpenWeatherMap' not found..."

I've tried several variations but can't get it to work. I wonder if it's related to my file structure. The webpage 'weather-test.php' is in the root folder. Here is the full structure showing where vendor/autoload.php and OpenWeatherMap are located.

Root Dir
file: weather-test.php
-\cmfcmf_openweathermap_php_api_2_4_0
--\vendor
    file: autoload.php
---\cmfcmf
----\openweathermap_php_api
-----\Cmfcmf
------\OpenWeatherMap
         OpenWeatherMap_Class.php

Thank you in advance.

Hi @GermanPearls,
I highly recommend to use composer – what exactly did not work when you tried?

I've also looked at the download provided by php-download.com: You'll have to first require("vendor/autoload.php") before you can use any of the classes of this project. Then you should use these imports:

use Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap;
use Cmfcmf\OpenWeatherMap\Exception as OWMException;

Thank you for your time @cmfcmf .

I didn't use composer because I have no command line access to my server.

I've tried what you suggested. However, because of my file structure, I used:

include '\cmfcmf_openweathermap_php_api_2_4_0\vendor\autoload.php';

I still get the class not found error. Any other thoughts?
Thank you.

It's working.

I'm not sure the root cause of the original error but here are the changes I made to get it to finally work.

I removed the extra directory level. In addition, I found that, during troubleshooting, I changed the directory name to include _ instead of -

Thank you for your help (and for the use of the package).
