I'm starting to study laravel 5.1, I'm excited about this but when I create a controller (contactController)
<?php
namespace app\Http\Controllers;
use app\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class ContactoController extends Controller
{
public function inicio()
{
return "esto es un controlador";
}
}in my route I do the following
Route::get('contacto','ContactoController@inicio');
I get the following error:
Class 'app\Http\Controllers\Controller' not found
Any particular reason why you are using Laravel 5.1? (the latest stable version with excellent improvements is laravel 5.2).
just to be sure, when you installed Laravel the main page came out (where the logo and some phrases appear)? (to know if the installation worked).
If the installation is correct try the following:
1) rename your controller ContactController.php to Contactcontroller-copia.php
2) Run from the Artisan console to be generated by the Controller.
Running the command:
php artisan make:controller ContactoController
3) in the routes.php file includes the route
Route::get('contacto','ContactoController@inicio');
4) content of the controller and the start method ..
...
class ContactoController extends Controller
{
public function inicio()
{
return "esto es un controlador";
}
}...
I hope you find it useful. Greetings ...
From what I see in the image you share, the namespace starts with cinema and not app .
I assume that the error you get when going to the path /contacto ?
In summary, the error should be in the namespace, so check the namespace you have in composer.json:
"autoload": {
...
"psr-4": {
"cinema\": "app/"
},
Or you can change the namespace with the command:
php artisan app:name cinema
So if the base namespace is cinema , the contact controller (and all other controllers) should look like this:
<?php
namespace cinema\Http\Controllers;
use Controller; // el controlador base está en el mismo namespace
class ContactoController extends Controller
{
// ...
}
Looking at your code, I realized that your namespace is wrong
namespace app\Http\Controllers;
It should be like this
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
A laravel is case sensitive
The problem lies in the namespaces, when Laravel gives an error of:
Class 'app\Http\Controllers\Controller' not found
It's often a mistake that en route is incorrectly redirecting the call to where it has to go.
The namespaces in Laravel are very important they are a standard from the PSR4 , where they comment, together with the PSR2 .
Laravel follows the PSR-2 coding standard and the PSR-4 autoloading standard.
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
class ContactoController extends Controller
{
public function inicio()
{
return "esto es un controlador";
}
}
Your error is in:
namespace cinema\Http\Controllers;
Logically if Laravel starts in App \ Http \ Controllers, the cinema does not pick it up.
I advise you to use the artisan from Laravel, which is a way that builds all the models and controllers in a standard way, as you want them to be used, with time you will notice how it is done and you will not need the command, the command would be:
php artisan make:[model|controller] --resource Evento
php artisan make:controller --resource ContactoController
This you have to run in the root directory where you have installed laravel, which is one level below the App folder that is where the Namespaces starts to write the address where they are.
I'll put some notes for you to know the reason of the namespaces:
I hope I have helped, through this response and do not hesitate to ask, we do not all know everything, but we all know it.
