(I would like to think that moving forwards, we could supply a constant to spl_register_autoload as a best compromise BC step to change this behaviour to support PascalCase class names). Anyhow, I've disabled all extensions, I believe I've exhausted all configuration possibilities affecting spl_autoloads behaviour, and it still does not work. Defining my own handler, does. It seems that no matter how I define the include path, spl_autoload throws LogicExceptions as it cannot find classes. I am hoping that its not the case that as Mac OSX paths contain upper case folder names, that the auto lowercasing behaviour of spl_autoload is affecting absolute paths. As a concrete case, this IS an include path that I use- it works with include_once et al, supplying or omitting the trailing slash: "/Users/davidfoley/Documents/Aptana Studio Workspace/www.thorium.site/Private/Library/" The above path is a perfectly valid file path- its somewhat different in the sense that 'www.thorium.site' is plonked in the middle- thats simply the name of a virtual hosts symlinked folder. I am only guessing that this could be a possible reason why spl_autoload is not working. Reproduce code: --------------- Assume a class file: location: www/Private/library/target.php contents: namespace library { class target { } } Assume a bootloader script location: www/Public/boot.php contents: define('BREAK', '<br/>'); set_include_path('absolute/path/to/www/Private/library); spl_autoload_extensions('.php'); spl_autoload_register(); $classFile= new SplFileObject('library/target.php', true); echo 'The class file exists: ' . ($classFile->isFile() ? 'true' : 'false') . BREAK; use library\target; $instance= new target; echo 'The class was loaded: ' . (isset($instance) ? 'true' : 'false') . BREAK; Expected result: ---------------- The following output: The class file exists: true The class was loaded: true Actual result: -------------- LogicException 'could not load class library\target' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51144&edit=1
