I’m building an MVC framework and I was thinking that most of the classes used in the making of an application are models. So since I know that every model is inside a folder I could just use the native __autoload() function to implement a “feature” (that obliviously you can enable and disable as well) that automatically loads a model (Lazy programming).
Is it good or should I discard this idea? If the latter: why?
If you’re building a PHP framework, it might be worth looking into the PSR-0 standard for autoloading. I’m afraid I don’t know much about it, but I believe a number of substantial frameworks and libraries have agreed to abide by it for interoperability. I believe that would include Symfony2, Propel2 and the next major version of Zend Framework.
