spl_autoload_unregister
Note that, the orders of file extensions is important for performance. You should make the priority of your favourite file extension higest or use only one extension for your class files. Check out this example:
Some class files:
ClassA.php
<?php class ClassA { var $val = 'Hello from class "ClassA"'; } ?>
ClassB.php
<?php class ClassB { var $val = 'Hello from class "ClassB"'; } ?>
ClassC.php
<?php class ClassC { var $val = 'Hello from class "ClassC"'; } ?>
ClassD.php
<?php class ClassD { var $val = 'Hello from class "ClassD"'; } ?>
ClassE.php
<?php class ClassE { var $val = 'Hello from class "ClassE"'; } ?>
1. Simple:
<?php
// default priority: .inc .php
for($n=65; $n<70; $n++) {
$className = 'Class'.chr($n);
spl_autoload($className);
$ins = new $className;
echo $ins->val.'<br>';
}
// 4.2 miliseconds
?>
2. Change priority:
<?php
spl_autoload_extensions('.php,.inc');
// new priority: .php .inc
for($n=65; $n<70; $n++) {
$className = 'Class'.chr($n);
spl_autoload($className);
$ins = new $className;
echo $ins->val.'<br>';
}
// 1.4 miliseconds
?>
Or you can use this simple function that runs a bit faster for the extensions with lower priority :)
<?php
function my_autoload($className, $extList='.inc,.php') {
$ext = explode(',',$extList);
foreach($ext as $x) {
$fname = $className.$x;
if(@file_exists($fname)) {
require_once($fname);
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
for($n=65; $n<70; $n++) {
$className = 'Class'.chr($n);
my_autoload($className);
$ins = new $className;
echo $ins->val.'<br>';
}
// 2.6 miliseconds
?>
