Class 'Mailgun' not found

[airways]

Just wanted to post a note since the resolution on this issue seems to be pretty incomplete, and this ticket's page is the top google search result for "composer Clas 'Mailgun' not found". The actual problem causing this error appears to be that the sample code does not use the Mailgun namespace. See second line here, which I've updated to have the namespace:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$msg = new \Mailgun\Mailgun("key-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
$mg->sendMessage($domain, array('from' => '[email protected]',
    'to' => '[email protected]',
    'subject' => 'Sent from mailgun title',
    'text' => 'Sent from mailgun message.'));

Without the namespace, the autoloader will not be triggered, and so you get the cited error. The example code appears to be incorrect in README.md and every other page I've seen.

If you carefully review the original issue as reported, zahidilead was clearly both already using composer and including the autoload.php file.

You need to install mailgun library through composer. And you should use correct path for vendor/autolod in your script.

require 'path/to/file/vendor/autoload.php';

Feel free to reach out to Mailgun support for help on this.

Just so everyone is aware, I worked this for a few days before figuring it out. This was a good start.

The problem I had was that although my composer file had the Mailgun/Mailgun-php reference in it, I did NOT have the dependencies it needs. See this page for more details:

https://github.com/mailgun/mailgun-php

The three additional references I had to add to my composer.json file, plus Mailgun, are:

"Mailgun/Mailgun-php": "^1.0",
"php-http/curl-client": "^1.0",
"guzzlehttp/psr7": "^1.0",
"php-http/message": "^1.0",

Hope that helps people avoid the issues I did.

Hey @jetsetting-stressball.
Thank you for commenting on this issue. Though, it seams to be unrelated. (See dates for the original post).

About your issue and proposed solution: Did you read this section of the readme? https://github.com/mailgun/mailgun-php#why-requiring-so-many-packages
Have you seen the linked resource in that paragraph?

Composer must have given you a lot of error messages when you were trying to update. Or else you wouldn't get a "class not found".

[jetsetting-stressball]

Yup, I read that part of the readme.

Nope, composer didn't give me any errors trying to update. That's why I was confused.

My original error was "Class 'Mailgun' not found", just like this post. Searching for answers I came across this post. It may not be perfectly related, but since I searched and found this page, I figured others may as well... and I'd hate for them to waste two days like I did.

My apologies if that's not the purpose of these communities, just trying to help!

Interesting.

No need to apologize my friend. You've done nothing wrong. I too are trying to help you and anyone reading this thread after us. That's why I linked to resources, readme and told you about composer.

We should not steal this thread any more. Please open a new issue with your error message, composer file (before and after) and we'll make sure to find the cause of this issue.
