Autoloader

PHP
1

I was looking at autoloading whilst working with namespaces and I was wondering if anyone could help to fix my autoloader. The code that I had seen was:

<?php
function autoload($className)
{
    $className = ltrim($className, "\ ");
    $fileName  = '';
    $namespace = '';
    if ($lastNsPos = strripos($className, '\ ')) {
        $namespace = substr($className, 0, $lastNsPos);
        $className = substr($className, $lastNsPos + 1);
        $fileName  = str_replace("\ ", DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $namespace) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    }
    $fileName .= str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $className) . '.php';

    require $fileName;
}

But it never finds the code, my directory structure is:

src
|
|
application - library
|
|
controller - model - view

Take a look at composer autoloader PSR-4, it’s pretty simple and you will understand what you really want to achive.

+1 vote for composer’s autoloader. I would strongly recommend going down this route and learning to use composer in your projects. Tis awesome.
