This page states that autoloading does not work when PHP is used in CLI mode but a simple test seems to contradict this.
Create a file /tmp/Foo.php containing:
<?php
class Foo {
public function __construct() {
echo "Inside the Foo constructor\n";
}
}
?>
Create a script (NOT in /tmp) containing:
<?php
function test_autoload($class) {
require_once '/tmp/'.$class.'.php';
}
spl_autoload_register('test_autoload');
$foo = new Foo();
?>
Execute the script on the command line. The echo statement in the constructor produces output to STDOUT.
This also works with __autoload
<?php
function __autoload($class) {
require_once '/tmp/'.$class.'.php';
}
$foo = new Foo();
?>
