}

I think, there is a problem with this implementation or the PSR-0 itself. When - theoretically - using classnames that begin or end with and underscore "", e.g. \Vendor\Namespace_Class_Extension.php

This would end up in something like this:
Vendor/Namespace//Class/Extension/.php and will definitely fail to load.

There is no omission or MUST NOT for leading or trailing underscores in the definition of classnames.

To avoid this, just replace the line:

<?php

$fileName .= str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $className) . $this->_fileExtension;

with

<?php

$fileName .= preg_replace("#([a-z0-9]+)_([a-z0-9]+)#i", "$1" . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . "$2", $className) . $this->_fileExtension;

and the example above will end up in:

Vendor/Namespace/_Class/Extension_.php

Maybe useful:
https://github.com/keradus/SplClassLoader - taken from PSR and little fixed like docs etc.
If need anything to change just PR.

Btw, consider using PSR4 autoloader:
https://github.com/keradus/Psr4Autoloader

Here is the file loading solution I use within my autoloader:
REM** $class can be a Class OR an Interface

include $filename;
// Check to see if the include declared the class
if(!class_exists( $class, FALSE )) {
// Check to see if the include declared the interface
if(!interface_exists( $class, FALSE )){
// We do not have the class nor interface : file did not load or did not exist
// Do something : Log error; check other file resources or die gracefully.
}
}

Why I use this:
Loading files is normally the slowest part of any php application. Using file_exists(), even though it does not load the file still takes 'almost' as much time as loading the file itself (assuming a small file which class files tend to be >10Kb). So if you use:

file_exists(fileName){
require fileName;
}

From a application run time perspective its like loading the file twice !!! In addition require will kill your app if it fails where include only throws a warning.

Testing if the class or interface exists after an include will give you options to try something else before YOU gracefully exit your application.

Hope this helps

Got it.

Maybe replace 'require' with 'require_once' in loadClass(...) method ?

Hi guys, I have trouble.
Using SplClassLoader loosing displaying of parse errors and it is really pain the ass to debug the code manually. I can only catch then with register_shutdown_function(). I have set error_reporting to E_ALL, I did almost everything to display them and nothing.

If I require the classes manually everything works as expected (any errors are displayed). Any suggestions?

get class in to on?

SplClassLoader line 133 is throwing error. File not found. But the file is present in another folder, how to fix this

It is just a test https://gist.github.com/Romanzo/2cd7b5cc382f5f419670

Hello there people! New important info forgotten here..

The method loadClass on line 141 must return a boolean value! Recomended:

return class_exists($className, false) || trait_exists($className, false) || interface_exists($className, false);

This is imperative! PHP SPL autoload function suports bubbling effect.. You can register as many autoload functions as necessary, so, you must return a boolean value to indicate if the function loaded the resource or not. If it returns true, the SPL stops casting autoload functions.. if it returns false it keeps goin on the rest of the functions registered through spl_autoload_register.

The second parameter in every *_exists methods refer to autoloading and it must be false inside the autoload function scope to avoid infinite loop (the autoload function casting itself). If you try to load an interface, class_exists will drop false, because it's not a class, but interface_exists will drop true, then the autoload stops trying to load that resource.

Also, it's recommended to use include_once than any of other options. For instance, if you try to load My\Personal\Class\Name and My_Personal_Class_Name as the code is it will drop a fatal error trying to duplicate the resource (class, trait or interface). The fix proposed here will solve this problem.

See ya!

I am trying this code from last 5 hours and it dint work.

Can someone remove the spam comments from 2017 (since first-reviews' comment)? I don't see any possibility to flag them from my side..
