Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-29 09:39:28] tyra3l at gmail dot com after some sleep and a little bit thinking, I think that the best solution would be to introduce a new Exception type, which will be thrown if the execution of the autoload callbacks doesn't successfully load the class. what do you think? Tyrael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-17 00:15:36] tyra3l at gmail dot com *exists -> exit *exection -> execution * spl autoload callbacks was executed -> spl autoload callbacks was executed without finding the class * I cannot continue the normal execution flow -> I couldn't continue the normal execution flow * from a higher level -> at a higher level sorry, its getting late, and my english skill degrades with sleep deprivation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-17 00:11:01] tyra3l at gmail dot com Description: ------------ currently you can throw an exception from the autoloader, hence if you can't find a class, your application can gracefully exists, instead of exiting via the class not found fatal error. my problem is, that I would like to use multiple autoloader (for example in a project which uses multiple component, or framework), but in this case, I can't throw an Exception from my autoloader, because maybe the other autoloaders could load the class. if I'm sure that I will register the last autoloader, the this isn't a problem(my last autoloader will throw the Exception on missing class), but maybe I have to load a component late of the exection. it would be cool, if I could somehow register a callback which will be called, when the spl autoload callbacks was executed, but the class couldn't be loaded of course, from this callback, I cannot continue the normal execution flow, however I can log the error, and let the callback return and get the class not found fatal error, or throw an Exception, and handle/log the error from a higher level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54032&edit=1
