Install without composer

When you setup the SDK did you bring in all the dependencies as outlined in the manual setup. To do this, you must first clone these PHP source code packages from GitHub:

square/square-php-sdk. The Square PHP SDK.
apimatic/jsonmapper. A library that dynamically converts JSON responses from Square APIs into PHP classes.
apimatic/unirest-php. A RESTful HTTP client that works with Square APIs.

Next, you need to provide an autoload script (autoload.php) so that your application can easily access the PHP source code packages at runtime. The Square PHP SDK provides the following example autoload script:

github.com

square/square-php-sdk/blob/master/example-autoload.php

<?php
/**
 * An example of an autoload register for manual installation
 * 
 * After registering this autoload function with SPL, the following line
 * would cause the function to attempt to load the \Square\Baz class
 * from /path/to/project/src/Baz.php:
 * 
 *      new \Square\Baz;
 *      
 * @param string $class The fully-qualified class name.
 * @return void
 */
spl_autoload_register(function ($class) {

    /**
     * An array with project-specific namespace prefix as keys and location relative to this autoloader.php file as values
     * You can find this information in each of the package's composer.json file on the  "autoload" field
     * 
     * NOTE: The key of the autoload object denotes the format used.

You can download this file, rename it to autoload.php, and use it as is. You can also customize the script to suit your needs.

In your application code, add a require statement to run the autoload script. After that, you are able to use any of the Square PHP SDK classes. For example:

1
2
3

require 'autoload.php';

use Square\SquareClient;
