Widget Help - Shows Grayed Out On Dashboard (PHP)

Hello,

I have a widget.php file located in the application\default\views\admin\widget\ directory.

I can see the widget on my Dashboard. I am trying to include another PHP class file to grab data but when I add this the widget on the Dashboard shows as grayed out. If I comment out the require_once and data function lines the widget shows fine.

I can execute the widget.php code from the command line and it gives no errors (except for the aMember functions).

What am I doing wrong here?

PHP:

<?php
   
    $automation_library_path = "/path/to/require/file/";

    require_once $automation_library_path . "KeyValue.php";

    $key_value = new KeyValue();

    $total = $key_value->get("stats_total");
    $available = $key_value->get("stats_available");

 
?>

<div class="admin-last">
    <h2><?php __e('Statistics', 5); ?></h2>
    <div class="am-grid-container">
        <table class="am-grid grid-no-highlight">

                    <tr class="am-grid-row">
                <td><div style="padding-bottom:.4em">
Total Licenses In Portal: <?php echo $total; ?><br/>
Idle Licenses (Available): <?php echo $available; ?><br/>

                    </div>

                </td>
            </tr>
          
        </table>
    </div>
</div>
