ApcUniversalClassLoader deprecated

class ApcUniversalClassLoader extends UniversalClassLoader

deprecated

since version 2.4, to be removed in 3.0. Use the {@link ClassLoader} class instead.

ApcUniversalClassLoader implements a "universal" autoloader cached in APC for PHP 5.3.

It is able to load classes that use either:

  • The technical interoperability standards for PHP 5.3 namespaces and class names (https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md);

  • The PEAR naming convention for classes (http://pear.php.net/).

Classes from a sub-namespace or a sub-hierarchy of PEAR classes can be looked for in a list of locations to ease the vendoring of a sub-set of classes for large projects.

Example usage:

require 'vendor/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/ClassLoader/UniversalClassLoader.php';
require 'vendor/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/ClassLoader/ApcUniversalClassLoader.php';

use Symfony\Component\ClassLoader\ApcUniversalClassLoader;

$loader = new ApcUniversalClassLoader('apc.prefix.');

// register classes with namespaces
$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    'Symfony\Component' => __DIR__.'/component',
    'Symfony' => __DIR__.'/framework',
    'Sensio' => array(__DIR__.'/src', __DIR__.'/vendor'),
));

// register a library using the PEAR naming convention
$loader->registerPrefixes(array(
    'Swift_' => __DIR__.'/Swift',
));

// activate the autoloader
$loader->register();

In this example, if you try to use a class in the Symfony\Component namespace or one of its children (Symfony\Component\Console for instance), the autoloader will first look for the class under the component/ directory, and it will then fallback to the framework/ directory if not found before giving up.

Methods

useIncludePath(bool $useIncludePath)

Turns on searching the include for class files. Allows easy loading of installed PEAR packages.

from UniversalClassLoader
bool getUseIncludePath()

Can be used to check if the autoloader uses the include path to check for classes.

from UniversalClassLoader
array getNamespaces()

Gets the configured namespaces.

from UniversalClassLoader
array getPrefixes()

Gets the configured class prefixes.

from UniversalClassLoader
array getNamespaceFallbacks()

Gets the directory(ies) to use as a fallback for namespaces.

from UniversalClassLoader
array getPrefixFallbacks()

Gets the directory(ies) to use as a fallback for class prefixes.

from UniversalClassLoader
registerNamespaceFallbacks(array $dirs)

Registers the directory to use as a fallback for namespaces.

from UniversalClassLoader
registerNamespaceFallback(string $dir)

Registers a directory to use as a fallback for namespaces.

from UniversalClassLoader
registerPrefixFallbacks(array $dirs)

Registers directories to use as a fallback for class prefixes.

from UniversalClassLoader
registerPrefixFallback(string $dir)

Registers a directory to use as a fallback for class prefixes.

from UniversalClassLoader
registerNamespaces(array $namespaces)

Registers an array of namespaces.

from UniversalClassLoader
registerNamespace(string $namespace, array|string $paths)

Registers a namespace.

from UniversalClassLoader
registerPrefixes(array $classes)

Registers an array of classes using the PEAR naming convention.

from UniversalClassLoader
registerPrefix(string $prefix, array|string $paths)

Registers a set of classes using the PEAR naming convention.

from UniversalClassLoader
register(bool $prepend = false)

Registers this instance as an autoloader.

from UniversalClassLoader
bool|null loadClass(string $class)

Loads the given class or interface.

from UniversalClassLoader
string|null findFile(string $class)

Finds a file by class name while caching lookups to APC.

__construct(string $prefix)

Constructor.
