README

Apix Autoloader is a light PSR-0 compliant autoloader which can autoload both PHP5.3 namespaces and older PEAR-style classes.

Basic usage

• At its most basic, it will autoload PSR-0 complient class names in the current include-path:

    <?php
        require '/path_to/Apix/Autoloader.php';
        Apix\Autoloader::init();

• If you want to add some paths to the include-path:

    <?php
        require '/path_to/Apix/Autoloader.php';
  
        $prepend = array('path/to/libs', 'path/to/vendor'); // paths to prepend
        $append  = array('path/to/last/dir');               // paths to append
        Apix\Autoloader::init($prepend, $append);

Advanced usage

  <?php
      require '/path_to/Apix/Autoloader.php';

      $loader = new Apix\Autoloader;
      $loader->prepend('path/my/libs')
             ->prepend('path/vendors')
             ->append('some/other/path');

      $loader->register(true);  // True to take precedence on registered autoloaders.
                                // False (the default) to follow the stack order.
