Req #52385 [Opn]: Support for autoloading functions

I'm using tokenizer to look up for classes in all files. Then I store them in an associative array (class=>file) and when the class is requested, it is loaded according to this list. With functions it'd be completely same. I don't think PHP should provide anything more, just an autoloader to be used with user-defined callback (like spl_autoload_register does). "With classes you often have one class per fileâ¦" Often, but not always. Previous Comments: [2010-08-07 01:51:34] johan...@php.net With classes you often have one class per file, with functions not which makes the lookup usually way more complex; I don't see us adding this. [2010-07-24 07:00:14] php-bugs at majkl578 dot cz Decoded version (really nice bug :)): Would it be possible to add a support for autoloading user-defined functions? Currently only classes are supported by either __autoload or spl_autoload or spl_autoload_register. Including all functions is really awful job whereas classess could be autoloaded nicely (imagine implementation for spl_autoload_register which scans a directory for classess and then includes specific file). I suggest to make possible something similar to the example above for normal functions (global as well as those in namespaces). PS: I know that it could be hacked by emulating namespace with class (eg. static method String::webalize()) but since PHP 5.3 it would be probably nicier not to hack it with classes, but place it to namespace as a regular function (String\webalize()).
