Re: __autoload() and code caching (Was: [PHP-DEV]

include()'s are also done at run-time and autoload is very similar, thus, YES code caches will work with it. Please don't ask this question again :) At 02:24 PM 4/18/2004 -0400, Marc Richards wrote:

Does anyone know when __autoload() gets invoked? Is it during code compilation or at runtime? Has anyone tested __autoload() with a code cache like APC or ZPS? Marc

It gets called at run-time and should work with code-caches. Andi

So __autoload DOESN'T get any speed enhancements for a code cache then...?

Yes it should. Andi

Ok so either I am confused or I am not being very clear with my questions. Let me try to be as explicit as possible. Do the pages that get included by the __autoload() function get parsed and compiled along with the original page when using a code cache? I assumed that since __autoload gets called at runtime, it would be too late for the caches to do their parsing, optimizing and caching. On the other hand I was under the impression that include()d files get pulled in at compile time and therefore get parsed and cached. Maybe I am confusing the meaning of runtime and compile time, but hopefully I have been clear enough that the source of my confusion will be obvious.
