After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

lesserphp is a compiler for LESS written in PHP. It is based on lessphp bei leafo. The documentation is great, so check it out: https://www.maswaba.de/lesserphpdocs/.

Here's a quick tutorial:

How to use in your PHP project

The only file required is lessc.inc.php, so copy that to your include directory.

The typical flow of lesserphp is to create a new instance of lessc, configure it how you like, then tell it to compile something using one built in compile methods.

The compile method compiles a string of LESS code to CSS.

The compileFile method reads and compiles a file. It will either return the result or write it to the path specified by an optional second argument.

The checkedCompile method is like compileFile, but it only compiles if the output file doesn't exist or it's older than the input file:

If there any problem compiling your code, an exception is thrown with a helpful message:

The lessc object can be configured through an assortment of instance methods. Some possible configuration options include changing the output format, setting variables from PHP, and controlling the preservation of comments, writing custom functions and much more. It's all described in the documentation.

How to use from the command line

An additional script has been included to use the compiler from the command line. In the simplest invocation, you specify an input file and the compiled css is written to standard out:

$ plessc input.less > output.css

Using the -r flag, you can specify LESS code directly as an argument or, if the argument is left off, from standard in:

$ plessc -r "my less code here"

Finally, by using the -w flag you can watch a specified input file and have it compile as needed to the output file:

$ plessc -w input-file output-file

Errors from watch mode are written to standard out.

The -f flag sets the output formatter. For example, to compress the output run this:

$ plessc -f=compressed myfile.less

For more help, run plessc --help
