Failed to open stream: No such file or directory, when using __DIR_

PHP is throwing this error when trying to access autoload: require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

Warning: require_once(/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/crud_app/public/vendor/autoload.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/crud_app/public/index.php on line 6

The thing is that if I echo __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php'; it shows /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/crud_app/public and the vendor directory is outside of public. This is the path where autoload.php is:

/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/crud_app/controllers/vendor/autoload.php

Any idea what is happening? This is my repo in case you want to look at it. Running PHP 8.1 and macOS. Thanks in advance.

CodePudding user response：

index.php isn't inside controllers, you need to add that to the path.

require_once __DIR__ . '/../controllers/vendor/autoload.php';
