Class 'SimpleExcel' not found #53

Closed Bert-de-Jong closed 5 years ago

Bert-de-Jong commented 6 years ago

I'm running into the same problem as mentioned by Nevega on linux.org.ru here. Namely an error "Class 'SimpleExcel' not found".

<?php
  error_reporting (-1);
  ini_set ('display_errors', 'On');
  include_once (dirname (__FILE__) . '/../lib/SimpleExcel/SimpleExcel.php');
  $excel = new SimpleExcel ('xml');
?>

The include works, but then the new fails.

I have the same problem

You need 

use SimpleExcel\SimpleExcel;

because the class is in its own namespace

Going by the examples for 0.3.x and 0.4.x, what you write is correct. Even the README mentions it. I have no idea why I didn't include the use statement. Maybe the documentation has changed or is now more easily accessible, or something. I already switched to PhpSpreadsheet since I created this issue (ticket/thread), so I cannot check my code to see what I was trying to do at the time. I'm closing this issue.
