cspray/class-loader

A PHP 5.3+ autoloading solution compliant with PSR-0 standards

ClassLoader

It is not reommended to use this library. Please use Composer to generate a PSR-compliant autoloader., _(*1)

, _(*2)

A PHP 5.3 class-based autoloader designed to work exclusively with namespaces to easily autoload your favorite classes. Originally ClassLoader was simply a part of SprayFire but the utility proved to be entirely too useful and was needed in far more projects. Instead of copying the class loader object from SprayFire and constantly doing small refactors for each new project there will simply be the ClassLoader library that all projects can utilize without needing to actually go in and change the class's namespace., _(*3)

How it works

Well, first I assume you have some system set in place for your projects to easily include third-party libraries. Stick the repo in whatever directory appropriate for your project and then include the ClassLoader object. Instantiate the object, register the directories for your top-level namespaces and invoke ClassLoader\Loader::setAutoloader()., _(*4)

Here's an example:, _(*5)

registerNamespaceDirectory('YourNamespace', '/path/to/your/dir/holding/namespace');
$Loader->setAutoloader();

// BAM!  You're good to go with autoloading whatever new classes are needed by your scripts.
