"Cannot redeclare class duzun\hQuery" right after install with composer

[dragonattack]

I'm installing hQuery in laravel with composer:

dev@laravel:~/apps/testapp$ composer require duzun/hquery
Using version ^1.5 for duzun/hquery
./composer.json has been updated

  [ErrorException]
  Cannot redeclare class duzun\hQuery

runcommand contents:

use duzun\hQuery;
hQuery::$cache_path = '/home/dev/apps/testapp/storage/cache';

I've commented line //class_alias('hQuery', 'duzun\\hQuery'); in psr-4\hQuery.php and that solved the issue, but I'm not sure is that ok or not :)

Thanks for taking time to report the issue @dragonattack !

You are not the first person to face this issue, but I never had the chance to test in Laravel (I guess it is v5, right?).

For the sake of PHP <= 5.2 I'm not using namespaces in main hquery.php file.
But I'm emulating them with psr-4 for guys that use PHP >= 5.3.

Basically it is enough to include hquery.php file in your project and start using hQuery class.

I guess Laravel also emulates psr-4 for the classmap key of composer.json and when it gets to /psr-4/hQuery.php, the duzun\\hQuery class has already been defined.

Could you try to replace the commented line with the following:

class_exists('duzun\\hQuery', false) or class_alias('hQuery', 'duzun\\hQuery');

That fixes it! Thanks for your prompt response.
