Re: What's wrong the __autoload()?

For example a junior developer who doesn't know of its existence and is new to a job is less likely to admit ignorance and ask how a class is being defined when __autoload() is being used.

That's a the dumbest reason I've ever heard to not use a given language feature.

It's a perfectly viable business reason. -- Richard Heyes Employ me: http://www.phpguru.org/cv
