Well, probably my question was too basic so did not get any replies.
This is what I did and it seems to suite my primitive needs sofar.
Basically in my controller before declaring my controller class,
I did this
Code:
function __autoload ($cname)
{
require_once(APPPATH.'libraries/CCommonData.php');
}
I saw many examples people attempting to have a 'generic'
autoloader that would search for certain paths/etc depending
on the class name $cname to autoload.
But all I wanted to do is to emulate C++ include files --
where I can have many classes declared within one include
(and this seems to let me do that). I put those things in the library
directory even though I do not plan to use CI->load->library
(for the reason explained in my original post).
This __autoload construct apparently also improves performance
as when I have more and more files being used during the Controller
processing -- it will automagically execute my require_once only
if a given has not been declared yet.
Wanted to hear if people have any comments on the above.
(this is PHP5 only, I believe)
Thanks in advance
