These are semi-available in PHP4 as well -- look up 'overload' in the function reference. > I know it's not the answer to your question, but it could be just as > good, or better, than what you were looking for. The OP might also want to look up the INI variable 'auto_prepend_file' if they really *do* want to load all classes on each page call -- this would eliminate the need to modify all scripts in the web tree. It could also be used with the overload/__autoload functions (PHP4 or PHP5) -- the auto_prepend_file could contain the __autoload function definition. > Ben Edwards (lists) wrote: > > I have all my classes in a single directory.
