Stripe - PHP Fatal error: Class 'Stripe\Charge' not found

Question

I've been following the Stripe documentation and I am unable to create a "charge".

Charge.php

require('/var/www/stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Stripe.php');
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey("KEY_HERE");

\Stripe\Charge::create(array(
  "amount" => 400,
  "currency" => "usd",
  "source" => "TOKEN_HERE", // obtained with Stripe.js
  "description" => "Charge for [email protected]"
));
?>

I'm able to process the first command "\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey("KEY_HERE");" but receive an error when processing the next and receive the following error: "Class 'Stripe\Charge' not found in /var/www/charge.php"

Here is an updated answer to this question.

From Dana at Stripe:

If you prefer not to use Composer, our latest PHP bindings (>=2.x) include a init.php file that you can add to your project. Download and unzip the folder whereever you'd like, then include this init.php at the top of your scripts you use to communicate with the Stripe API, changing the path to the location of this file. Just like this: require_once('/path/to/stripe-php/init.php')

And that's what worked for me.
