I dissagree with that... I would like the option to say where my classes are.
If i want multiple classes in one file then i can.
function myAutoLoader($className) {
if (!class_exists($className)) {
include("all_of_my_classes.php");
}
}
Making a classpath and ClassName.php files will make php horibly look like
java. One of the reasons java does this is cause you can't have 2 public
classes in one file. We shouldn't force php developers to use one class per
file just to use the "auto-loading" feature.
