Re: autoload, include_once naming conventions

Hi, Lukas Smith schrieb:

could you provide your implementation ... its always better to have someting that has been in use. all it needs is an additional check to not do anything if an __autoload() function has been registered. Sorry, I do not have any code that could be used, as it's

a) only for PHP5 b) very specific to the problems in my project.

Appearently Marcus has added some __autoload() related goodies to spl in PHP HEAD that we should probably also take a look at. Yes, his additions look nice, but I guess the feature should be working in PHP4 as well. Users could register PEAR::loadClass() as __autoload() function if they like. But I can't imagine how we should leverage his changes.

And today Timm (Friebe) showed my something he's using in his framework that could be added as well to the loadClass method: class Foo {

    function __static()
    {
        // do some class level init stuff here.
    }

} PEAR::loadClass('Foo'); This would load the class and call Foo::__static() if it has been defined. I'd really like to have this in PEAR and it only requires one call to is_callable(). I could provide a patch for PEAR.php during the next week. Stephan -- http://www.php-tools.net http://www.schst.net http://pear.php.net
