RE : [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] in_class_exists() for detecting __autoload() called by class_exists() and interface_exists()

IMO, the point, here, is that, if the requested class starts with 'PEAR2', by convention, this name space is reserved and cannot be resolved by another handler. So, it is legitimate to want the PEAR2 autoload handler to display a message explaining how to get the missing package. But I wouldn't attempt to enrich the interpreter's 'not found' message, I would instead just have the handler trigger a warning message. The user would just receive 2 messages: an 'information' warning and a fatal error. Regards Francois
