Re: [Zend Engine 2] RE: [PHP-DEV] REPOST: Class Autoloading [PATCH]

Or have a user-definable classpath. But I think it's better not to call into PHP code. Andi At 11:32 PM 6/10/2002 +0300, Andi Gutmans wrote:

I'd prefer not having a handler for autoloader. I'd prefer having the Engine look for ClassName.php in the default include_path and if it doesn't exist die... (i.e. not call any user-definable PHP function). Andi At 11:33 AM 6/10/2002 +0200, phpsurf wrote:

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 !

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. Take a look at this message from November 2001: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=100687224711738&w=2 I didn't introduce anything new, so if it was OK then it should be OK now. Also, the code cannot affect the people that are not using the feature so I do not think that there will be any kind of impact on the existing user base. This feature makes it possible to have one class per file and not to worry about inclusion at all. It becomes especially useful when used together with products such as Zend Accelerator, where files are cached (and you do not have to worry about a large number of small files). -- Ivan Ristic, ivanr@webkreator.com [ Weblog on PHP, Software development, Intranets, and Knowledge Management: http://www.webkreator.com ] -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
