Phalanger cant find my php classes

Question

After this question I found a good (up to date) example to follow here. I successfully got PHP.Core libraries working in VS but still having problems finding my php classes.

The tutorial is simple enough however

dynamic phpObj = [email protected]();

never finds my php class. I have tried with the example file default.php (classname: PhpClass) and with my own php classes which are similar but have a different name.

What am I missing here? I have tried the option

Project Properties>Package/Publish Web>Items to deploy>all files in project

but that didnt help. Currently I have my php classes just under the project as seen below

The error I get just says it cant find the class:

Using ILSpy here is the main snippet of code for CurrentContext

result = (((ScriptContext)CallContext.GetData("PhpNet:ScriptContext")) ?? ScriptContext.CreateDefaultScriptContext());

This is the line of code that is used to find the php classes (AFAIK).

You have to include your php files into the PHP context first ... In Web App, to 'simulate' php lifecycle properly, do following:

using (var request_context = RequestContext.Initialize(ApplicationContext.Default, HttpContext.Current))
{
    var context = request_context.ScriptContext;
    context.Include("default.php", false);
// now the declarations declared by default.php are available in context.
// do anything with PHP objects here
}
