<title>Autoloading Objects</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Many developers writing object-oriented applications create
|
|
one PHP source file per-class definition. One of the biggest
|
|
annoyances is having to write a long list of needed includes
|
|
at the beginning of each script (one for each class).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In PHP 5, this is no longer necessary. You may define an
|
|
__autoload function which is automatically
|
|
called in case you are trying to use a class which hasn't been
|
|
defined yet. By calling this function the scripting engine is given
|
|
a last chance to load the class before PHP fails with an error.
|

|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Exceptions thrown in __autoload function cannot be catched in the
|
|
<link linkend="language.exceptions">catch</link> block and result in fatal
|
|
error.

This example attempts to load the classes <literal>MyClass1</literal>
|
|
and <literal>MyClass2</literal> from the files <filename>MyClass1.php</filename>
|
|
and <filename>MyClass2.php</filename> respectively.
