Zend::loadClass()
loads a PHP file whose filename is formatted like
"$className.php
", and then checks for the existance of the class $className
.
<?php loadClass($class, $dirs) ?>
If the file is not found or the class does not exist after the load, a Zend_Exception
is
thrown. Zend::loadFile()
is used for loading, and the $dirs
argument is
passed directly to it..
If you ask for a class with underscores in the name, and $dirs
is null (the default),
Zend::loadClass()
will auto-discover the $dirs
from the class name
by converting underscores to directory separators. For example, if $class
is
Zend_Example_Class
, that will map to a path of Zend/Example/Class.php
.
