note 84086 added to function.spl-autoload-register

The automatic generation of classes can be further improved to cater for files that don't actually contain the class they were supposed to contain: <?php // code to set include_path... class AutoloadException extends Exception { } class AutoloadClass { public static function autoload($sClassName) { @include_once($sClassName . '.class.php'); // does the class requested actually exist now? if (class_exists($sClassName)) { // yes, we're done return; } // no, create a new one! eval("class $sClassName { function __construct() { throw new AutoloadException('Class $sClassName not found'); } static function __callstatic(\$m, \$args) { throw new AutoloadException('Class $sClassName not found'); } }"); } } spl_autoload_register(array('AutoloadClass', 'autoload')); ?> You might be able to expand the example above to automatically generate interfaces too... Enjoy!
