__sh*tload to the rescue!

How do you think the PureMVC guy tests this autoload function?

/**
* Checks all paths defined in $_includePaths for
* the existence of $class and loads $class if found.
*
* @param string $class The class to search for.
*/
function __autoload( $class )
{
    $_includePaths = array(
                       PMVC_BASE_DIR . '/org/puremvc/php/core',
                       PMVC_BASE_DIR . '/org/puremvc/php/interfaces',
                       PMVC_BASE_DIR . '/org/puremvc/php/patterns',
                       PMVC_BASE_DIR . '/org/puremvc/php/patterns/command',
                       PMVC_BASE_DIR . '/org/puremvc/php/patterns/facade',
                       PMVC_BASE_DIR . '/org/puremvc/php/patterns/mediator',
                       PMVC_BASE_DIR . '/org/puremvc/php/patterns/observer',
                       PMVC_BASE_DIR . '/org/puremvc/php/patterns/proxy',
     );

    $classPath = get_include_path();
    $classPathTokens = explode( ':', $classPath );

    $classXtn = '.php';

    foreach ($classPathTokens as $prefix)
    {
        foreach ($_includePaths as $includePath)
        {
             $path = "$includePath/$class$classXtn";
             if (file_exists($path))
             {
                require_once $path;
                return;
             }
       }
   }

}

Dude, did you know that your get_include_path() is not used at all in this autoload function?

But here, I unit tested it for you

If you don’t get this joke see here
