Note Submitter: alexanderpas at yahoo dot co dot uk ---- I think i've found the holy grail.... use a wrapper function for the new statement, and all your problems are solved. <?php /** * PHP magic function, loads Objects automatically when needed. * * @param string class * @see http://php.net/manual/language.oop5.autoload.php */ function __autoload($class) { if (file_exists("./$class.php")) { require_once("./$class.php"); } else { throw new Exception("Unable to find required file to load $class"); } } /** * Wrapper for PHP new Class statement. * * @param string class * @param array arguments * @return object class or bool FALSE */ function new_class($class, array $arguments = array()) { try { class_exists($class); } catch(Exception $exception) { echo $exception->getMessage(); return FALSE; } return new $class($arguments); } ?>
