$extension = array(".pclass", ".pinterface", ".ptrait");
spl_autoload_register(function($classname, $type) {
global $includepath;
if( $type >=0 && $type <= 2 ) {
$filename = "$includepath/".strtolower($classname).$extension[$type];
if( is_readable($filename) ) {
include_once($filename);
}
}
});
You could also use spl_autoload_extensions(".pclass,.pinterface,.ptrait") or
spl_autoload_register(function($classname, $type) {
global $includepath;
$filename = "$includepath/".strtolower($classname);
if( is_readable("$filename.pclass" ) {
include_once("$filename.pclass");
} else if( is_readable("$filename.pinterface") ) {
include_once("$filename.pinterface");
} else if( is_readable("$filename.ptrait") ) {
include_once("$filename.ptrait");
}
});
This will make zero difference if all your files are classes (type doesn't mean anything, but
its about 20-30% more efficient when you start including interfaces and traits, because there are
now less stat calls being done on the filesystem. This code allows for only one stat needed per
call, instead of 1-3.

Added a patch, where autoloading will pass along the type its looking for. Should be fixed to have
constants, and a fix of err_012.phpt test should be fixed. Quick and dirty though, and I'll
clean it up if someone wants it.
function __AUTOLOAD($typename, $type) {
}
or you can use spl as well spl_autoload_register();
$type = 0, Class
$type = 1, Interface
$type = 2, Trait
class Test extends Test2 {}; $type = 0 for loading Test2
class Test implements Test2 {}; $type = 1 for loading Test2
class Test { use Test2; }; $type = 2 for loading Test2
class_exists("A"); $type = 0 for loading A
interface_exists("A"); $type = 1 for loading A
trait_exists("A"); $type = 2 for loading A
This patch is for php-5.5.0 release.

Actually, the ambiguous ones (i.e. is_a) do not call the autoload.

Ok, my point is still valid though.
Imagine I used is_a($a, "A", true) instead.

instanceof operator does not trigget class loading:
-----------------------------------------
class X {}
function __autoload($name) {
echo "Loading $name...\n";
}
$x = new X();
if ($x instanceof X) {
echo 'x is X';
}
if ($x instanceof NonExistingClass) {
echo 'blarg';
}
-----------------------------------------
The same applies to argument types.

This would certainly be a nice feature.
However, keep in mind that it is not always possible to tell whether something is a class or an
interface.
For example, when doing something like this, we can't tell whether 'A' is an
interface or a class:
if ($a instanceof A) {
}
