This must be trivial but I can't find a non-brittle solution to this: I need a way to access a file in my assets folder from the PHP section of my .htm file.
function onStart()
{
// -- Matomo Tracking API init --
require_once "/path/to/MatomoTracker.php";
MatomoTracker::$URL = 'https://matomo.example.org/';
}
Here "/path/to/MatomoTracker.php" is my_theme_name/assets/MatomoTracker.php
. How do we access the assets
subdirectory without using twig and do so in a robust way?
Thanks!

I'm sorry, the answer I gave above is wrong. Use this instead:
$assetUrl = $this->controller->themeUrl('assets/MatomoTracker.php');
$assetPath = public_path(parse_url($assetUrl, PHP_URL_PATH));
require_once $assetPath;

Or, even simpler:
$assetPath = public_path($this->controller->getAssetPath('assets/MatomoTracker.php'));
require_once $assetPath;

Yet another way:
$asset = new \Cms\Classes\Asset($this->controller->getTheme());
require_once $asset->getFilePath('MatomoTracker.php');
