Drupal and __autoload

2008, January 20 - 4:20am — Crell

Way ahead of you. :-)

Hi, Darrel. Actually, using __autoload() is considered bad form these days. The better alternative is spl_autoload_register(), which lets you register multiple autoload functions that can stack.

However, I am working on a centralized function/class registry for Drupal 7 that will allow Drupal to introspect itself and figure out where any function or class lives, and then autoload both on demand. (It only works for indirect function calls, but that's most of the useful functions in Drupal anyway.) Think of it as the Drupal 6 page split code meets chx's old split-mode code, but infinitely more flexible.

I have a proof-of-concept module in my sandbox here if you want to have a look. More details to come when HEAD opens up again.

By the way, requiring registration to post comments, and then enabling neither logintobaggan nor drupal.module nor OpenID is a huge PITA. :-(

__autoload() is the wrong

__autoload() is the wrong function to use here. SPL, included in any worthwhile version of PHP 5 (meaning 5.1+), offers a stackable mechanism instead: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.spl-autoload-register.php

Having a standardized autoloading mechanism in core makes a lot of sense when dealing with PHP 5 and objects, but I don't know how much that's going to happen in D6. In D7 we'll definitely want some central mechanism, but we don't know yet how heavily D7 will be using objects in the first place. (chx and I are supposed to have an argument about that shortly. ) It may be too late for D6 to make this sort of API change, though.

thanks standardize an

thanks standardize an __autoload as Drupal starts taking advantage of more OO capabilities. Maybe Crell would be nice enough to plan out some __autoload benchmarks in the future... *hint* *hint* online criminal justice degrees

This really functions

This really functions good.You can also only have a single _autoload() function. So to keep life simple for myself I decided to stash args for drupal_get_path in my class names.

I had started a new project

I had started a new project on Cars.My current project uses a few classes that kind of clutter the .module and aren't always used. Having PIP magic functions on the mind I immediately started thinking of it.Thanks for sharing quality info.

Drupal has been updated today to correct a vulnerability described as critical, although only affecting the installations of Drupal on Windows servers (SA-2009-CORE-003 and SA-2009-CORE-004).
