Re: Organisation of classes

I have considered that, but I do not like that idéa :) I want php to recognise what classes it needs to load. Have there been any improvment in this area to PHP5? I use PHP4 for the moment, but will migrate to PHP5 soon. As an "old" java programmer I feel that PHP is not that well deveolped. Was hoping that it would be some sort of library system that could be used for classes.
