note 73821 added to language.oop5.autoload

I am totally stumped by a problem with my PHP 5.2 install. Help :( __autoload() just plain don't work on my virtual private server, but it does on my home box. Here is a super-simple scenario: In test.php: <?php function __autoload($classname) { include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . "/$classname.php"); } $thinger = new foo(); echo $thinger->boo; ?> In foo.php: <?php class foo { var $boo; function foo() { $this->boo = "I wouldn't say 'boo' if this autoloader worked on my server...\n"; } } ?> The result of running php test.php: Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: foo in /home/nhawks/test.php on line 8 Works perfectly and gracefully on my home computer ... any ideas? ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 72.128.28.33 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.autoload.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73821 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73821/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73821/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73821/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73821/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73821/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73821/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73821 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73821 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
