Re: Re: alternative to the fopen() hack in autoloaders

Hi! I think stream_resolve_include_path() should be changed to work through zend_resolve_path, in any case. Also, what is the reason it can't be in 5.3 too? I'd like to both fix stream_resolve_include_path() and get it into 5.3, any objections to that? If that was done, only problem with using stream_resolve_include_path() is this manner: $realpath = stream_resolve_include_path($filename); if ($realpath && is_readable($realpath)) {

    include $realpath;

} else {

    throw new Exception("What do you mean by $filename?");

} This has disadvantage of using stat twice, but is_readable may be optional. This however does not solve the problem fully - since include could fail even though is_readable worked. But in that case I think it's OK for autoload to fail too - if there's a file in the path that exists, it's probably what you meant to include, so you probably don't want to try another one instead - you want it to fail. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
