Hi, I feel I'm missing something with Zend_Loader_Autoload, as I can't make it do what I want!
I think the relevant points are: 1) my models are are in a models directory and are not prefixed - models/SomeTable.php contains class SomeTable extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract, etc. 2) I'm using a 3rd-party library which has it's own autoloader, and also does not use prefixes (DOMPDF), living in /library/DOMPDF 3) My models are loaded fine by Zend_Loader with no intervention on my part, all very straighforward. However, when I need to use the 3rd-party library, I want to be able to register the new autoloader such that classes are autoloaded first from my models directory or failing that, from /library/DOMPDF. So I can call $class = new SomeTable() (using Zend_Loader) or $class = new class_in_DOMPDF() (using DomPDF::autoload()) and have them both work. The only way I have been able to make this work is to unregister Zend_Loader::autoload and register DOMPDF::autoload; after I've finished with the class, I have to unregister DOMPDF::autoload & re-register Zend_Loader::autoload. If I don't do this, then I get errors from one autoloader or the other about not being able to find classes which should properly be loaded by the other autoloader. I don't want to prefix my models with anything (because it would be a huge amount of work to retrofit this), and I don't want to have to prefix every class in DOMPDF (as it will be a huge amount of work and also break on upgrades). How should I do this? I'm certain my approach is missing the point fairly badly!
