Question

I want to lazy load class but with no success

<?php

class Employee{

    function __autoload($class){

        require_once($class);
    }


    function display(){

        $obj = new employeeModel();
        $obj->printSomthing();
    }
}

Now when I make this

function display(){
            require_once('emplpyeeModel.php');
            $obj = new employeeModel();
            $obj->printSomthing();
        }

It works but I want to lazy load the class.

Answer 1

Change Employee a bit:

class Employee {

   public static function __autoload($class) {
      //_once is not needed because this is only called once per class anyway,
      //unless it fails.
      require $class;
   }

   /* Other methods Omitted */
}
spl_autoload_register('Employee::__autoload');
