Autoloading

PreviousNamespacesNextDebugging

Last updated 7 years ago

You never need to use XoopsLoad or manually load a class file to use XMF. All XMF classes load automatically whenever you refer to them.

For example, consider the familiar XoopsRequest class.

XoopsLoad('xoopsrequest');
$cleanInput = XoopsRequest::getString('input', '');

XMF has a version of Request that is regularly synchronized with newer versions, and will be the definitive version starting with XOOPS 2.5.8. This is how the same code can look with XMF:

$input = Xmf\Request::getString('input', '');

You can combine this with the tips under , and expand to a few more input fields for a look at a more typical use case:

use Xmf\Request;

// ...

$input = Request::getString('input', '');
$id = Request::getInt('id', '');
$op = Request::getCmd('op', 'display');

Autoloading for the Xmf namespace is managed by a autoloader. The same autoloader also manages autoload for several libraries that XMF depends on. This autoloader will be standard in future XOOPS versions.
