note 42896 added to function.include

Over the years I’ve built up a large library of custom classes and I hate having to ‘require_once’ huge numbers of them in a config file. I wrote this simple little function that imports all the files in a directory. It helps me… maybe it can help someone else. <?php /*---------------------------------------- * Import *------------------------------------------ * Similiar to Java's import statement... * * This function calls 'require_once()' for all files that end * with '.php' (by default), or end with the string passed in * the optional second parameter '$ext', in the directory specified * in '$path'. * * Example: * * import('lib/Auth', '.inc'); //includes all files in the ./lib/Auth dir that end with '.inc' * import('lib/Cart); //includes all files in the ./lib/Cart dir that end with '.php' */ function import($path, $ext = '.php'){ if ($handle = opendir($path)) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if (substr($file, -(strlen($ext))) == $ext) require_once($path.'/'.$file); } } closedir($handle); } ?> Colin Brumelle ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42896 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42896&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42896&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
