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

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

Allow composer's autoload to be used in PHP 5.2. Fork of [xrstf/composer-php52](https://bitbucket.org/xrstf/composer-php52).

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:

```
{
    "require": {
        "rogeriopradoj/composer-php52": "~1"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "RogerioPradoJ\\Composer52\\Generator::onPostInstallCmd"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "RogerioPradoJ\\Composer52\\Generator::onPostInstallCmd"
        ],
        "post-autoload-dump": [
            "RogerioPradoJ\\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.
