using spl_autoload instead of __autoload

Friday 15 August 2008 7:03:21 am

I was trying to use some services from the Zend frame work and ran into autoload conflicts.

To resolve it I changed ezPublish to register is autoloader with spl_autoload_register in /autoload.php.

I also had to apply the fix stated in http://issues.ez.no/10728

Now I have no problems with the autoloader of both frameworks.

I would suggest using spl_autoload_register instead of __autoload to become the default for interoperability.

function __ezPublish_spl_autoload( $className )
{
    static $ezpClasses = null;
    if ( is_null( $ezpClasses ) )
    {
        $ezpKernelClasses = require 'autoload/ezp_kernel.php';
        $ezpExtensionClasses = require 'autoload/ezp_extension.php';
        $ezpClasses = array_merge( $ezpKernelClasses, $ezpExtensionClasses );
    }

    if ( array_key_exists( $className, $ezpClasses ) )
    {
        require( $ezpClasses[$className] );
    }
    elseif ( EZCBASE_ENABLED )
    {
        ezcBase::autoload( $className );
    }
}

spl_autoload_register('__ezPublish_spl_autoload');
