The term "autoload" mentioned here shall not be confused with __autoload function to autoload objects. Regarding the __autoload and namespaces' resolution I'd like to share the following experience:
->Say you have the following directory structure:
- root
| - loader.php
| - ns
| - foo.php
->foo.php
<?php
namespace ns;
class foo
{
public $say;
public function __construct()
{
$this->say = "bar";
}
}
?>
-> loader.php
<?php
function __autoload($c)
{
require_once $c . ".php";
}
class foo extends ns\foo {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
echo "<br />foo" . $this->say;
}
}
$a = new ns\foo(); echo $a->say; $b = new foo; ?>
If you keep your directory/file matching namespace/class consistence the object __autoload works fine.
But... if you try to give loader.php a namespace you'll obviously get fatal errors.
My sample is just 1 level dir, but I've tested with a very complex and deeper structure. Hope anybody finds this useful.
Cheers!
