9: Load Classes Automatically In OOP PHP | Object Oriented PHP Tutorial | PHP Tutorial | mmtuts

In this OOP PHP tutorial I will show how to load classes automatically, as soon as you instantiate a class. This saves us a lot of trouble in regards to having to update out "includes" and links all the time.

NOTE:
In this video I say that "_autoload" would get "depreciated", when I meant to say "discouraged".

depreciated = will get discontinued
discouraged = is not recommended

I know there are viewers out there that care a lot about proper phrasing and such, so I thought I'd clarify here :)

I can't imagine someone who can teach coding with simple and clear explanations like you. When someone understands the 'WHY', he can explain anything. If not, he will resort to repeating incomprehensible puzzles.

One thing worth mentioning, if your server is running on Linux, you need to make two adjustments to what Dan has done in the video. Firstly, as Linux (unlike WIndows) is case sensitive, if you are calling your classes with a capital letter (eg. Person, rather than person, like in the video), you need to also make sure your class file is capitalised, eg. Person.class.php. Secondly, if using namespaces, you need to make a change to the autoloader function. As Linux uses forward slashes for file directories, you should add: $fullpath = str_replace('\\', '/', $fullpath); to replace the backslashes picked up with forward slashes. I believe even if you add this line, it will also still work on Windows anyway

keep going man i really enjoy each and every single episode you make

[kristapsvecvagars]

Love your videos! You just have a way of explaining things so clearly, something that most of my teachers struggled to do, especially with OOP concepts. Thank you for your work and dedication!

I really hope you'll get many more subscribers, because even for someone who already "knows" OOP in PHP, your explanations are very clear and easy to follow.
You really ease the understanding of that core concept !

Thanks for these great courses !

You're the best PHP teacher. Thanks Dan

[robertbajo]

Great! Man your tutorials about coding in PHP are one of the best on youtube!

[mh_reja]

I was scaring to get into OOP php, when I was trying to understand it, my brain stopped working. But, you have eased all this, you teach in a very supercallifragilistic way.
As of now my brain has started working 😆😊 to understand php OOP. Thank you very much.

[markgilsongregorio]

I learned a lot from you Sir. Dan, 9 more episodes to go! Thank you so much for the lectures

[richardwilkins]

This was a great PHP OOP 'good-housekeeping' lesson. Really helpful. Thank you.

[guscostarock]

Wow man, you really have the talent to make a hard concept become easy, I appreciate your work and it is helping me a lot.Thanks for that!

[vladiklass]

Thank you so much for explaining it in such an interesting way that I'm watching it instead of Netflix on Sunday afternoon! :D

[powpowalemany]

I am a new to PHP programming and have done too many procedural programming, actually I use procedural programming in our capstone project.
I've heard a lot in OOP and done some research about OOP and I had a hard time studying OOP until I saw your tutorials about OOP(PHP) it is easier to understand the way you explain things.
Thank you so much.

I've been coding for something like 6 years now (front end) and there's a handful of areas where my brain never quite clicked. MVC in PHP is one of those areas. I have realized over time that my brain needs the conceptual explanation, the abstract high level overview of things instead of just the explicit instructions on implementation. If I understand the idea of how it's supposed to work, I can figure out the implementation. All this is to say I really love your style of teaching and that you focus on the concept and not just the implementation. Cheers!

Perfect as ever! For a little bit of finesse in production (and to hide anything useful to a hacker) you can change _return false;_

to an error handler:

die("Error - Please try again later");

or an error code, or whatever works best for your project.
