Fatal error: Class 'NS1' not found in namespace1.php on line 15

Autoload isn't designed to do what you're trying to, it's for classes only.

Thank you.

I need a solutions for autoload namespace.

use Namespace1; // => auto include Namespace1.php

// good
Namespace1::test(); // => auto include Namespace1/test.php 

http://www.onphp5.com/article/61

<?php
function __autoload($className) {
  // Assume that all class files are located in the same dir and subdirs
  $fname = str_replace('::', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $className) . '.php';
  if(is_file($fname)) {
    include_once($fname);
    return;
  } 
  
  $namespace = substr($className, 0, strrpos($className, '::'));
  $localClassName = substr($className, strrpos($className, '::') + 2);
  if($namespace) {
    eval("namespace $namespace;
          class $localClassName {
            function __construct() {
              throw new Exception('Class $namespace::$localClassName not found');
            }
        
            static function __callstatic(\$m, \$args) {
              throw new Exception('Class $className not found');
            }
          }");
  } else {
    eval("class $className { 
            function __construct() { 
              throw new Exception('Class $className not found');
            }
          
            static function __callstatic(\$m, \$args) {
              throw new Exception('Class $className not found');
            }
          }");
  }
}

Ideally, there should be some type of autoload that works with the "use" keyword, but you'd have to talk to the php devs about that (maybe create a ticket in their bug tracker?).

The snippet of code that you posted could be repurposed to do what you want, by creating a dummy class and having __callstatic call your function. I don't know what kind of side effects it might have without trying it though.

Are you quite sure? Autoloading namespaced classes in the article under discussion.

require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/' . $classname . '.php' );

As we're discussing PHP 5.3 here, remember you now have the __DIR__ "magic constant"

brandlover.vn was trying to autoload a function, not a class.

Oh, that's true. So it's a problem, but not one we don't have already with 5.2, isn't it?

Still, there are a lot of areas to be improved in PHP.

Exactly. The easiest solution is to simply not use functions, using static calls on classes instead...

Or just don't use __aoutload Its really not that hard to include.
