FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

By Joe Fallon
Joe's PHP Autoloader is a versatile and easy to use autoloader for PHP 5.3 and greater. It provides the following features:
- When auto-loading a class, all of the include paths are searched automatically.
- For maximum legacy support, non-namespaced classes are allowed.
- Normal PSR-0 namespaced classes are supported.
- Underscore namespaced (e.g. like the Zend Framework 1 or PEAR) classes are supported.
- This autoloader is fast. No recursive directory searches are performed.
Requirements
The only requirement is PHP > 5.3.0. This is due to the use of namespaces. Additionally, Composer can be helpful.
Installation
The easiest way to install Joe's Autoloader is with
Composer. Create the following composer.json file
and run the php composer.phar install command to install it.
Usage
To use Joe's Autoloader, the following initialization steps are needed:
- Add the base directories where classes can be found to the include path.
- Call the
Autoloader::registerAutoload()method to load the autoloader. - Start using classes in your code.
As long as namespaces are mapped to the folder structure within the directories defined above, then autoloader will have no problems finding and loading the classes.
For example, let's assume we want to load the class Bar that is within the file
named Bar.php contained within a folder Foo. Also, let's assume that the class
Bar is namespaced \Foo\Bar. This would give a file path of LIB_PATH/Foo/Bar.php.
When new Bar(); is executed, the Bar class will be loaded (if is was not already).
Here is a visual depiction of the above example:
