Hi Florian,

That's a good point and it isn't much work.
Do we need the $_classes array or is a naming-conversion for the classes
(PEAR/Zend) an alternative solution?
I'm not a fan of the PEAR naming convention (and neither is Christian).
Anyway, we would rather not change the naming convention at this point
in time. It's a lot of work and does not contribute much to the code
base. The long-term plan is to start using namespaces at some time in
the future. At that point we will re-think the whole naming
convention.
PEAR naming conversion was just a example for pseudo namespaces and it
is backward compatible.
Namespaces are not planed for the 2.3 release, right?
The problem is that namespaces would make log4php incompatible with
PHP< 5.3 so this is currently not acceptable because a majority of
people is still using 5.2 (I blame the hosting firms).
Don't forget PHP4! ;)
By using namespaces we could rename LoggerLayoutPattern to
\apache\log4php\layouts\PatternLayout, or something similar. This
would make everything nicer, and we can write a generic autoload
method instead of having the classes array.
the autoloader method is in this case very easy:
$class = str_replace('\\', '/', $class) . '.php';
require_once($class);
btw: happy new year ;)
To you too! :-)
