register namespace in silex without composer

Question

I'm using silex to build an api for an app I'm building, and I want to abstract my controllers into different files.

I work for a pretty big corporation with a very strict IT department, and they won't let me install composer. For this reason, I need to register namespaces manually, via the $loader->add() function, but I get the following error:

Fatal error: Class 'App\Controller\SessionController' not found in C:\path\to\webroot\App\bootstrap.php on line 9

Does anyone know why the autoloader isn't picking up my App namespace?

Currently, my app is structured as follows:

App/
    Controller/
        ApiControllerAbstract.php
        SessionController.php
    bootstrap.php
vendor/
www/
    index.php

index.php

require_once "../app/bootstrap.php";

bootstrap.php

$loader = require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
$loader->add('App', __DIR__ . '/../App/');


$app = new Silex\Application();


$app->mount('/session', new App\Controller\SessionController());

$app->run();

SessionController.php

namespace App\Controller;

class SessionController extends ApiControllerAbstract {

    public function connect( $app)
    {
        $this->app = $app;
        $controller_collection = $app['controllers_factory'];

        // DECLARE ALL YOUR ROUTES HERE
        //...


    }

}

Hello, The following line:

$loader->add('App', __DIR__ . '/../App/');

Should be:

$loader->add('App', __DIR__ . '/../');
