Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'GoogleClient' not found – PHP Versions

Versions:

Composer: 2.4.0

PHP: 7.4.30

Apache: 2.4.29

google-api-php-client: Unknown

Basic Information

On google-api-php-client, I am having trouble creating a client object. I always gives me this error when I try to create one.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘GoogleClient’ not found

It’s starting to bug me quite a bit now. I tried searching online but it currently seems I am the only one with the problem. I followed the instructions here. Up until I got stuck right here, at basic examples. That’s where I use the examples to see if I did everything right with no errors.

I am using composer to load dependencies as well.

Here is my code though.

require_once $coreRoot . 'objects/googleOAuth2/vendor/autoload.php';
$client = new GoogleClient();    
$client->setAuthConfig(/* Secure Key JSON File */);

The $coreRoot variable includes the whole file path that leads up to the directory of the current php file.

What I tried and found

A list of other stack overflow questions I have looked at while trying to search for an answer. None of the questions solved my problem. Some didn’t have any answers, but it has comments.

Class 'Google_Client' not found – Same result

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Google_Client' not found – Code not similar to mine.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Google_client' not found despite adding library through composer – No answers but has comments. The comment that helped the asker was confusing. Code most likely didn’t match mine.

Laravel: Class 'Google_Client' not found – No answers but it has comments. Comments was not useful. I also tried the stuff the asker tried and I still got the same result.

    Finally figured out my problem now.

    For my variable $coreRoot, it was set as my localhost aka 127.0.0.1. Which was very wrong. You can't call PHP functions or variables by a web address. That would pose a security vulnerability if it allowed that. You have to use the full file path. For example C:xampphtdocsindex.php, not http://localhost/. Can't believe I missed that.

    Sorry for the trouble to everyone. And to everyone else who has similar problems to, call php from the full address, not the web address.

    I do have to give a little credit to @dılo sürücü answer as it helped me remember this error.
