The problem with this is that Zend::loadClass() throws an exception if
the class file is not found, which makes it difficult to cascade it with
other autoloaders. I'd write a wrapper like this for use with autoload:
function zend_autoload($class)
{
try {
Zend::loadClass($class);
return true;
} catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
return false;
}
}
Then use the above function with spl_autoload_register():
spl_autoload_register('zend_autoload');
spl_autoload_register(array('Doctrine', 'autoload'));
