Question

i want to make a “loader class” that will require selected files.

so i just can call eg. loader::load(‘systemLibraries, ‘applicationLibraries’).

so inside this load() method i will use require. but i have tried this and it seems that the files required can’t be used outside the class.

how can i make it globally accessed?

Answer 1

This should work fine:

class Loader{

    function load($class_name)
    {
         require($class_name ".php");
    }
}

Loader::load("MyClass");
$class = new MyClass;

Given that MyClass is in “MyClass.php”

This on the other hand, won’t work

class Loader{

    function load($class_name)
    {
         require($class_name ".php");
         $class = new $class_name;
    }
}

Loader::load("MyClass");
$class->doSomething();

If include.php looks like this

$var = "Hi";

You can’t do this:

Loader::load("include");
echo $var;

As there are scope issues.

You are going to need to give us more information on exactly what you are trying to access.
