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.

Informations about the package browser-detection

BrowserDetection

The Wolfcast BrowserDetection PHP class facilitates the identification of the user's environment such as Web browser, version, platform family, platform version or if it's a mobile device or not.

This class will try to detect what the user is using from the HTTP_USER_AGENT string sent by the Web browser. A good way to use the class would be to gather user statistics or to report the browser and version used for informational purposes. A bad way to use the class would be to serve content based on the browser and version used. Sites that rely on the user-agent string should be updated to modern techniques, such as feature detection, adaptive layout, and other modern practices.

Always keep in mind that HTTP_USER_AGENT can be easily spoofed by the user.

Usage

History

Correctly identifying what Web browser your users are using is an incredibly complex task. If you ever tried to implement something like this you quickly saw how this can become a code mess. Only a few libraries exist and they often get deprecated and becomes abandonware. This is why we created our own detection engine. We didn't start from scratch. The class is a heavily updated version of Chris Schuld's Browser class version 1.9 (which was unmaintained for a couple of years). Chris' class was based on the original work from Gary White.
