note 107835 added to function.autoload

Even I have never been using this function, just a simple example in order to explain it; ./myClass.php <?php class myClass { public function __construct() { echo "myClass init'ed successfuly!!!"; } } ?> ./index.php <?php // we've writen this code where we need function __autoload($classname) { $filename = "./". $classname .".php"; include_once($filename); } // we've called a class *** $obj = new myClass(); ?> *** At this line, our "./myClass.php" will be included! This is the magic that we're wondering... And you get this result "myClass init'ed successfuly!!!". So, if you call a class that named as myClass then a file will be included myClass.php if it exists (if not you get an include error normally). If you call Foo, Foo.php will be included, and so on... And you don't need some code like this anymore; <?php include_once("./myClass.php"); include_once("./myFoo.php"); include_once("./myBar.php"); $obj = new myClass(); $foo = new Foo(); $bar = new Bar(); ?> Your class files will be included "automatically" when you call (init) them without these functions: "include, include_once, require, require_once". ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 194.27.149.90 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.autoload.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107835 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107835/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107835/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107835/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107835/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107835/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107835/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107835 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107835 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
