Questions tagged [spl-autoload-register]

PHP function to register a function with the Standard PHP Library (SPL) provided `__autoload` stack. If the stack is not yet activated it will be activated.

This function is to register a function with the Standard PHP Library (SPL) provided __autoload stack. If the stack is not yet activated it will be activated.

If your code has an existing __autoload() function then this function must be explicitly registered on the __autoload stack. This is because spl_autoload_register() will effectively replace the engine cache for the __autoload() function by either spl_autoload() or spl_autoload_call().

If there must be multiple autoload functions, spl_autoload_register() allows for this. It effectively creates a queue of autoload functions, and runs through each of them in the order they are defined. By contrast, __autoload() may only be defined once.
