Hi,

i track the developing of Roundcube. In the moment i study the code of drupal and found a function i never knew before: spl_autoload_register. This Page in German  explains the usage of this function very well: http://aktuell.de.selfhtml.org/weblog/php-autoload

It doesn't really explain it *well*. It overcomplicates things. IMHO, selfhtml should stick to HTML and avoid explaining PHP. ;-(

However, some time ago i saw that Thomas has to move some includes forward for making some plugins to work with some plugins, but can't find it right now. Maybe wrong reminder. However, since Roundcube uses Classes, this functions seems to fit well in Roundcube. All the Requires and Includes could be removed and the Includes would only happen then when they are really needed.

Any thoughts?

We are already using __autoload()? http://trac.roundcube.net/browser/trunk/roundcubemail/program/include/iniset...

Besides, I don't think in an app like roundcube we don't gain that much from using autoload. You're best of configuring APC's stat cache etc. correctly to get an improvement.

Cheers, Till

BTW: Have you plans when to merge the different dev-trees to the main-trunk?

Best Regards Eduard
