Autoload classes from different folders

Question

This is how I autoload all the classes in my controllers folder,

# auto load controller classes
    function __autoload($class_name) 
    {
             


        

Answer 1

Altough this script doesn't have the name convention and this thread is already a bit old, in case someone is looking of a possible answer, this is what I did:

function __autoload($name) {
    $dirs = array_filter(glob("*"), 'is_dir');

    foreach($dirs as $cur_dir) {
        dir_searcher($cur_dir, $name);
    }

}

function dir_searcher($cur_dir, $name) {

    if(is_file("$cur_dir/$name.php")) {
        require_once "$cur_dir/$name.php";
    }

    $dirs = array_filter(glob($cur_dir."/*"), 'is_dir');
    foreach($dirs as $cdir) {
        dir_searcher("$cdir", $name);
    }
}

not sure if it is really optimal, but it searches through the folders by reading dir recursively. With a creative str_replace function you can get your name cenvention.
