Hi,What about __class_exists() and SPL_register_class_exists_handler()? One could suppose the classloader (the one that implements __autoload) knows if a class exists (as in: is registered within the classloader or the class-file exists) without loading it and maybe the class that calls class_exists() never uses it.
