Good morning fella,
Is there something like __autoload() of PHP5 in PHP4?
After using PHP5 for a month, I just can't stand writing those never-ending
includes and requires. Any ideas how to simulate an __autoload()? I am not
afraid of a little overhead.
For those who don't know - if PHP does not have some class defined, it looks for
__autoload() function defined by user and checks for class definition after
executing the function. If the class is then defined, PHP goes on parsing as
nothing had ever happened, but if the class is not found by that time PHP sends
an error message.
