I'm actually trying to create a MVC framework for my own, however I'm having troubles with the Autoload. It's not a problem actually, but I'd like to ask the gurus, how are they using the spl_autoload_register function when there are different directories.
Lets say we have the following directories:
Controllers
Libs
Models
Each folder contains different classes, like:
Controllers:
Main.php
File.php
About.php
Libs:
Main.php
Front_controller.php
Models:
Index.php
File.php
Login.php
You can notice that some file names might be found with the same name in different directories. Okay, so this is what I've tried so far:
spl_autoload_register(function ($class) {
$pathContorllers = 'Controllers/' . $class . '.php';
$pathLibs = 'Libs/' . $class . '.php';
$pathModels = 'Models/' . $class . '.php';
if (file_exists($pathContorllers)) {
require_once $pathContorllers;
} elseif (file_exists($pathLibs)) {
require_once $pathLibs;
} elseif (file_exists($pathModels )) {
require_once $pathModels ;
}
});
It is working well, however I'm sure that there is another way to make everything simpler. Can anyone suggest me how can I make this code better or simpler / what are gurus using in this situation?
