FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package autoload
Autoload 
Purpose
Automatically load all PHP files in the specified directory. Recursively.
Benefits
- Rename files with no fear of breaking
includesorrequirecalls - Encourages using more files to more cleanly organize code into smaller logical chunks
- Reduce git merge conflicts with other developers
Usage
Install via composer by adding the package to your composer file. "aaronholbrook/autoload": "1.*", does the trick.
Be sure to include the regular composer load file via require( __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php' );.

Simply load your desired includes or whatever directory by calling:
Caveats
Since this is a recursive loader, you should be conscious of what you're placing in your autoloaded directory.
Things I wouldn't recommend doing:
- Placing a big (or any) PHP library in the autoloaded directory (this should/could be handled better with composer anyways!)
- Being lax with permissions on a server. Obviously this is never a good idea, but I would be sure that your folder / file permissions are up to snuff (or strange files may be loaded)
