FileMaker php API

Permalink
I Have dropped Filemaker.php and Folder that defines the API in src folder for Concrete 5.7.
How do I include the file in the system so that I can take advantage of the class in a block?
Please see the picture of the directory structure.

Hi winewise,

You do not want to place any files inside the concrete directory. This directory is overwritten when concrete5 is upgraded.

A "src" folder can be created in the application folder. This will prevent it from being overwritten on upgrade.
application\src\FileMaker.php
application\src\FileMaker

FileMaker.php will need to be namespaced.
namespace Application\Src;

To use the class.
use Application\Src\FileMaker;
$fileMakerObject = new FileMaker();

This forum post covers the topic and has some examples.

Thank you for your reply. I get part 1 and 3 but can not understand part 2. Would you please let me know how to set name space and where?
I which file do I create a name space such as

> FileMaker.php will need to be namespaced.
> namespace Application\Src;

Let us assume I am doing a php block on the home page in the main section. Or better still I would want this namespace to be available globally. Do I put this in default.php file?

Thanks;
Jay

In FileMaker.php, the namespace would be added after the opening PHP tag.
<?php
namespace Application\Src;
// there may be code here
class FileMaker
{
    // class code
}
