1 Including Swift Mailer (Autoloading)

     2 ====================================

     3 

     4 Swift Mailer uses an auto-loader so the only file you need to include is the

     5 ``lib/swift_required.php`` file.

     6 

     7 To use Swift Mailer's autoloader:

     8 

     9 * Put Swift Mailer somewhere accessible to your PHP scripts (this does not

    10   need to be in the web root).

    11 

    12 * Include, or require the ``lib/swift_required.php`` file.

    13 

    14 * Follow the remainder of the documentation for using the available

    15   components.

    16 

    17 .. note::

    18 

    19     While Swift Mailer's autoloader is designed to play nicely with other

    20     autoloaders, sometimes you may have a need to avoid using Swift Mailer's

    21     autoloader and use your own instead. Include the ``swift_init.php``

    22     instead of the ``swift_required.php`` if you need to do this. The very

    23     minimum include is the ``swift_init.php`` file since Swift Mailer will not

    24     work without the dependency injection this file sets up:

    25 

    26     .. code-block:: php

    27 

    28         require_once '/path/to/swift-mailer/lib/swift_required.php';

    29
