README example should show PSR-4 autoloader instead of PSR-0

[prahladyeri]

I've observed that in composer.json you have configured auto-loader to PSR-4 standard, yet the comment in README.md example suggests using PSR-0 compliant autoloader:

// require the Faker autoloader
require_once '/path/to/Faker/src/autoload.php';
// alternatively, use another PSR-0 compliant autoloader (like the Symfony2 ClassLoader for instance)

Perhaps, the require should read something like this in case of PSR-4?

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

Your request is not quite clear. Could you elaborate?

[prahladyeri]

Its too old, I've almost forgotten PHP since then lol! But from what I remember, there are different PSR standards for importing the auto-loader classes (PSR-0 & PSR-4 are most common). I think the one standard you are actually using in code differs from what you've provided in the example in README.md page (or at least did in February when I'd raised that bug).

But as I said, I may have mistaken. I've moved on to Python since then, so don't quite recall about this bug.

The readme now states:

// require the Faker autoloader
require_once '/path/to/Faker/src/autoload.php';
// alternatively, use another PSR-4 compliant autoloader

So I think this issue is no longer valid. Could be closed @fzaninotto @webr.

Lets review the docs since it should explain both. Its recommended overall to load the composer autoloader but both should be possible
