Re: Function/Constant autoloading

Hi, thanks for your reply, but I'm not talking about class loading (because thats already possible). I'm talking about autoloading of userspace functions and constants // /path/to/my/functions.php namespace my\functions; const THING = 'I am constant!'; function helloWorld () {

    echo "hello World;

} // /path/to/some/other/file.php namespace foo; use my\functions; functions\helloWorld(); // fail! echo functions\THING; Am 26.07.2011 10:27, schrieb Laruence:

Hi:

    maybe Yaf_Loader can be used for meet this requirement.

    it's a internal autoload function:

    Each namespace separator is converted to a DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR when

loading from the file system.

    Each "_" character in the CLASS NAME is converted to a

DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. The "_" character has no special meaning in the namespace. The fully-qualified namespace and class is suffixed with ".php" when loading from the file system.

    As examples:
      \Doctrine\Common\IsolatedClassLoader =>

/path/to/project/lib/vendor/Doctrine/Common/IsolatedClassLoader.php

     \namespace\package\Class_Name =>

/path/to/project/lib/vendor/namespace/package/Class/Name.php

     \namespace\package_name\Class_Name =>

/path/to/project/lib/vendor/namespace/package_name/Class/Name.php

Hi, Maybe this topic occured already, then sorry when I'm wasting your time, but I'm wondering, why there is no autoloading for functions and (namespace)constants. When a class is not found, then an userland function is called. Thus I don't see a reason, why something like this doesn't exists for functions and (namespace)constants too, because using them is quite uncomfortable right now compared to classes and the decision _how_ to load them would be on the developers-side anyway.
