Thanks WH:

I like this design by Zend too....based on the code below, all it seems to do (other than correctly create the name of the file) is to "include_once" when the main script needs to call a class right?

PHP Code:


			
function __autoload($szClassName)

{

    $szFilePath = str_replace('_', '/', $szClassName) . '.php';

    include_once($szFilePath);

}

As oppose to this:

PHP Code:


			
include_once("includes/database.php");

include_once("includes/login.php");

include_once("includes/member.php");

include_once("includes/validation.php");

include_once("includes/pagination.php");

So with the latter, it calls everything, everytime, and the former, it only calls when called upon...hence lazy loading...

Is that correct?

Also you wrote:

new Core_Exception();
new Core_Database_Row();

Is that something specific to the Zend Framework? Do I need to call them too? Or were you just providing generic example of instantiating a class...
