How to use authorize API in cakephp? - cakephp

Question

I am using cakephp 2.6.7. I want to integrates Authorize Api(http://www.authorize.net/) to my cakephp app. I set up api by composer in my localhost. It works fine. Here is the file structure:
Here charge-credit-card.php is the final script to run. Inside this file I include some pre requisite files as follows:
require 'authorize/autoload.php';
use net\authorize\api\contract\v1 as AnetAPI;
use net\authorize\api\controller as AnetController;
Now I put the authorize folder inside Vendor folder of cakephp:
And I add autoload.php in paymentsController.php as follows:
require_once(APP . 'Vendor' . DS . 'authorize' . DS . 'autoload.php');
But I am confused about
use net\authorize\api\contract\v1 as AnetAPI;
use net\authorize\api\controller as AnetController;
Replacement. How should I replace these two lines inside cakephp controller? Here is my full code:
<?php
require_once(APP . 'Vendor' . DS . 'authorize' . DS . 'autoload.php');
use net\authorize\api\contract\v1 as AnetAPI;
use net\authorize\api\controller as AnetController;
define("AUTHORIZENET_LOG_FILE", "phplog");
class PaymentsController extends AppController {
var $layout = 'admin';
// public $components = array('Auth');
public function isAuthorized($user = null) {
$sidebar = $user['Role']['name'];
$this->set(compact('sidebar'));
return true;
}
public function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
// Allow users to register and logout.
$this->Auth->allow('process');
}
}
?>
Thanks for your time.

I guess your question is specific to php aliases and not the ANet sdk itself?
Here's a question about making globally accessible aliases. There's no straight forward way do it, it seems.
PHP Global namespace aliases

The default approach is to define ...
use net\authorize\api\contract\v1 as AnetAPI;
use net\authorize\api\controller as AnetController;
... in each of the files where you need to use the aliases. (As you must know, once autoloaded, the namespaces are globally accessible)
That should have your application working.
