Instantiate your classes, interfaces, traits or even abstract classes, no matter where. The only thing you have to do is to integrate.
Packagist with Composer
This solution extends the vendor autoloader because it calls the files with certain criteria. The extension allows you to call classes wherever the Autoloader is involved.
Download Composer local or global. Check for more Tutorial - NetBeans with Composer and Packagist for this one.
You found the Autoloader package on Packagist - PHP Auto Autoloader.
Add the Autoloader dependencie to the composer.json and set the autoload.
{
...
"autoload": {
"psr-4": { "Aautoloder\\": "autoload/src" }
},
"require": {
"prod3v3loper/php-auto-autoloader": ">=1.0"
}
...
}
Now run the composer install command with php
php composer.phar install
e.g.
composer install
This is the vendor autoloader invites our autoloader and now we do not need to specify any more class and can load all our classes.
index.php
<?php
// Define the document root project folder
define('MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT', __DIR__);
// Load the autoloader
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
new \Aautoloder\Loader(array(MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT));
?>

</head>
<body>
<?php
// METHOD 1: Fastest way, the namespace is foldername structure and filename is equal to filename
$class_one = new testclasses\first_class();
$class_one->method_from_first_class();
// METHOD 2: The slower way, namespace is equal to folder structure but the classname is differnt to the filename
$class_two = new testclasses\classes\second_class();
$class_two->method_from_second_class();
// METHOD 3: The slowest way, here ist nothing euqal
$three_class = new name_space\namespace2\third_class();
$three_class->method_from_third_class();
?>
</body>
</html>
Git clone
Get per Git or download and use it.
git clone https://github.com/prod3v3loper/php-auto-autoloader.git /projects/
So we use it without a vendor and can start a direct call.
index.php
<?php
// Define the document root project folder
define('MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT', __DIR__);
// Load the autoloader
require_once './autoload/src/Loader.php';
new \Aautoloder\Loader(array(MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT));
?>

$class_two = new testclasses\classes\second_class();
$class_two->method_from_second_class();

$three_class = new name_space\namespace2\third_class();
$three_class->method_from_third_class();
?>

autoload/core.config.php
Indexing of the found classes, default is true.
define('MBT_CORE_AUTOLOAD_INDEX', true);
Maximum number of lines to read in a file, default is 49.
define('MBT_CORE_AUTOLOAD_READ_MAX_LINES', 49);
Set this to false so that you no longer see the debugging, default is true.
define('MBT_DEBUG_DISPLAY_AUTOLOAD', true);
Look at which classes where were found, default is true.
define('MBT_DEBUG_DISPLAY_AUTOLOAD_SEARCH', true);
The complete path is the directory path, that the autoloader get by self.
DEFAULT: MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT
The autoloader define get the web root by self after set MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT
define('MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT', __DIR__);
define('MBT_SERVER_ROOT', str_replace(MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT, '', str_replace(filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'DOCUMENT_ROOT'), '', str_replace("\\", "/", MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT))));
define('MBT_HTTP_ROOT', get_protocol() . get_host() . MBT_SERVER_ROOT);
The autoloader finds everything yourself you do not have to do anything except write your class and instance and use.
| Method | Namespace (with class) | Path | Load Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | testclasses\first_class | php-auto-autoloader/testclasses/first_class.php | 0.0 sec. |
| 2 | testclasses\classes\second_class | php-auto-autoloader/testclasses/classes/second.php | 0.002 sec. |
| 3 | name_space\namespace2\third_class | php-auto-autoloader/testclasses/classThree.php | 0.011 sec. |
METHOD 1:
This is the fastest way
That means we take the website root path and namespace as a folder path and the classname we put together with these.
Example
The instance:
new testclasses\first_class();
| Type | Sample | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PATH | /project/sites/mywebsite/ |
MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT |
| NAMESPACE | testclasses |
Like the folder name |
| CLASS | first_class |
Like the file name without extension |
| Then the result example | /project/sites/mywebsite/testclasses/first_class.php |
METHOD 2:
This method is slightly slower than the first, so 0.03 - 0.05 seconds
This function namespace as folder path and force only this path for class second_class (Example) file.
However, this only occurs when the file does not match the specified class name.
This means every file found in this folder is opened and searched for the classname.
As soon as the used class exists in a file, this is integrated and can use it.
Example
The instance:
new testclasses\classes\second_class();
| Type | Sample | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PATH | /project/sites/website/ |
MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT |
| NAMESPACE | testclasses\classes |
Like the folder name |
| Then the result example | /project/sites/mywebsite/testclasses/classes/second_class.php |
METHOD 3:
This method is the slowest, but found class anything where
This method is the slowest, because it scans all your folders. No matter how much files you have, all are opened, read and searched for the classname. This method intervenes only when none of the other methods was successful. So if the namespace was not just a folder name and the class name was not filename.
Example
The instance:
new testclasses\classes\third_class();
| Type | Sample | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PATH | /project/sites/mywebsite/ |
MBT_DOCUMENT_ROOT |
| Then the result example | /project/sites/mywebsite/testclasses/classThree.php |
