I'm working on a php project and need to use the Collection namespace from Illuminate. I have Laravel installed on my computer. However, when I try and create a new collection with:
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
$collection = new Collection();
It gives me the error that it cannot find the class Illuminate\Support\Collection. I tried moving my Laravel folder into the same directory as the project and that didn't work either. I also tried looking through my laravel folders and couldn't find the Illuminate files anywhere. Do I have to do a separate installation to get the Illuminate libraries? Any help is appreciated.
