Static methods for loading classes and files.

_includeFile(
string $filespec, boolean $once
=
false
)
:
boolean
Attempt to include() the file.
include() is not prefixed with the @ operator because if the file is loaded and contains a parse error, execution will halt silently and this is difficult to debug.
Always set display_errors = Off on production servers!
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$filespec | string | |
$once | boolean |
Type | Description |
---|---|
boolean |

autoload(
string $class
)
:
string|false
spl_autoload() suitable implementation for supporting class autoloading.
Attach to spl_autoload() using the following:
spl_autoload_register(array('Zend_Loader', 'autoload'));
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$class | string |
Type | Description |
---|---|
string|false | Class name on success; false on failure |

explodeIncludePath(
string|null $path
=
null
)
:
array
Explode an include path into an array
If no path provided, uses current include_path. Works around issues that occur when the path includes stream schemas.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$path | string|null |
Type | Description |
---|---|
array |

isReadable(
string $filename
)
:
boolean
Returns TRUE if the $filename is readable, or FALSE otherwise.
This function uses the PHP include_path, where PHP's is_readable() does not.
Note from ZF-2900: If you use custom error handler, please check whether return value from error_reporting() is zero or not. At mark of fopen() can not suppress warning if the handler is used.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$filename | string |
Type | Description |
---|---|
boolean |

loadClass(
string $class, string|array $dirs
=
null
)
:
void
Loads a class from a PHP file. The filename must be formatted as "$class.php".
If $dirs is a string or an array, it will search the directories in the order supplied, and attempt to load the first matching file.
If $dirs is null, it will split the class name at underscores to generate a path hierarchy (e.g., "Zend_Example_Class" will map to "Zend/Example/Class.php").
If the file was not found in the $dirs, or if no $dirs were specified, it will attempt to load it from PHP's include_path.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$class | string |
|
$dirs | string|array |
|
Exception | Description |
---|---|
\Zend_Exception |

loadFile(
string $filename, string|array $dirs
=
null, boolean $once
=
false
)
:
boolean
Loads a PHP file. This is a wrapper for PHP's include() function.
$filename must be the complete filename, including any extension such as ".php". Note that a security check is performed that does not permit extended characters in the filename. This method is intended for loading Zend Framework files.
If $dirs is a string or an array, it will search the directories in the order supplied, and attempt to load the first matching file.
If the file was not found in the $dirs, or if no $dirs were specified, it will attempt to load it from PHP's include_path.
If $once is TRUE, it will use include_once() instead of include().
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$filename | string | |
$dirs | string|array |
|
$once | boolean |
Type | Description |
---|---|
boolean |
Exception | Description |
---|---|
\Zend_Exception |

registerAutoload(
string $class
=
'Zend_Loader', boolean $enabled
=
true
)
:
void
Register {@link autoload()} with spl_autoload()
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
$class | string | (optional) |
$enabled | boolean | (optional) |
Exception | Description |
---|---|
\Zend_Exception | if spl_autoload() is not found or if the specified class does not have an autoload() method. |

standardiseFile(
string $file
)
:

Convert the supplied filename into the namespace-aware standard, based on the Framework Interop Group reference implementation: http://groups.google.com/group/php-standards/web/psr-0-final-proposal
The filename must be formatted as "$file.php".
