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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package timer

Web2All timer

This package can be used to run code at a specific interval. This is mostly useful for daemon-like scripts.

What does it do

The main goal of the package (class) is to sleep for a specific amount of time. The sleep time is calculated so work can be done at fixed intervals. This is useful for long running scripts, as an alternative to running them each interval from teh cron.

Usage

The below code will 'do stuff' every minute. If the 'do stuff' takes long, the sleep will sleep as long as needed till the next interval moment which has not yet been reached. When it is one second before midnight, the script will exit the work loop.

So if this script is started at 00:00:05 then the next interval will be 00:01:05. If the 'do stuff' takes 70 seconds then the second time 'do work' will be done is at 00:02:05, the sleep will sleep for 50 seconds.

$interval_timer = new Web2All_Timer_SleepInterval(
    60, 
    Web2All_Timer_SleepInterval::OPTION_NO_INTERVAL_DRIFT
);
$interval_timer->initialize();
$interval_timer->setEndAtMidnight();
$keep_running = true;
while($keep_running){
  // do stuff

  // wait till the next interval
  $keep_running = $interval_timer->sleep();
}

But there are options to control the exact behaviour. See code ducumentation for the constructor, setEndAtMidnight and initialize method.
