I'm trying to include a path to autoload.php which is in
vendor/autoload.php
the file trying to access it is in
public/this-file.php
I set the path to require_once '../vendor/autoload.php'; but it just throws the error -
Warning: require_once[../vendor/autoload.php]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Fatal error: require_once[]: Failed opening required '../vendor/autoload.php' [include_path='.:/opt/php55/lib/php']
Does laravel offer a shortcode to access files in the vendor file

You don't need to require autoload.php in a Laravel application, it's already being required. You can just add more package in your composer.json file or do a composer require in the command line, and it should work.
It is required in bootstrap/autoload.php, if you don't believe me. ;]

require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
If it doesn't for some reason, try composer dump-autoload, which fixes a lot of "requiring"
issues in Laravel, especially when working with seeders and that sort of thing.

In this post we will code a custom autoloading solution in Core PHP from scratch and will also take a look at utilizing composer for autoloading in Core PHP.
If you have used a framework like laravel, you may wonder how it autoload classes without including a source php file of that class.
In core php, You have to include the source file of the class in order to use it somewhere in another file.
for example:
