RE: [PHP-DEV] REPOST: Class Autoloading [PATCH]

this patch would be really great ! I can remember it has been discussed a lot on the ZE2 mailing list about the 'import' feature. some people (and I was) would have apreciated another name because this name was already used in many PHP frameworks to implement a function that loads classes. As far as I followed this thread, the agreement was that the import keyword can be used fine for namespaces if a autoload statement was patched to the engine ... so everyone would be happy ! :) I guess your patch gives some function like this one : set_classautoload_handler("myAutoLoader"); and then, one can implement a function like this: myAutoLoader($className) { if (!class_exists($className)) { include("class/".str_replace("_", "/", $className).".php"); } } I'm sure many programmers would apreciate such a feature. Especially as it whould have no BC issue at all ! > -----Original Message----- > From: Ivan Ristic [mailto:ivanr@webkreator.com] > Sent: dimanche 9 juin 2002 22:46 > To: Zeev Suraski > Cc: php-dev@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] REPOST: Class Autoloading [PATCH] > > > > I believe this has been discussed in the past and not ack'd, > please read > > the php-dev archives... > > I tried and I tried but I couldn't find a discussion on anything > similar on the mailing list. > > The code I sent is *already* in use, and has been in > use for some time now.
