PHP 5.2 Autoloading for Composer
================================

[](#php-52-autoloading-for-composer)

This package provides an easy way to get a PHP 5.2 compatible autoloader out of Composer. The generated autoloader is fully compatible to the original and is written into separate files, each ending with `_52.php`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your project's `composer.json`, add the following lines:

```
:::json
{
    "repositories":
    [
        {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "https://github.com/ehrlichandreas/composer-php52.git"
        }
    ],
    "require":
    {
        "ehrlichandreas/composer-php52": "*"
    },
    "scripts":
    {
        "post-install-cmd":
        [
            "xrstf\\Composer52\\Generator::onPostInstallCmd"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd":
        [
            "xrstf\\Composer52\\Generator::onPostInstallCmd"
        ],
        "post-autoload-dump":
        [
            "xrstf\\Composer52\\Generator::onPostInstallCmd"
        ]
    }
}

```

After the next update/install, you will have a `vendor/autoload_52.php` file, that you can simply include and use in PHP 5.2 projects.
