I was thinking somet a bit more like this:
function __autoload($c) {
switch($c) {
case 'Utility':
include('Utility.class.php');
}
}
overload('Utility');
class Utility {
public static $includeMap = array('myfunc'=>'myfunc.function.php');
public function __call($m,$a,&$r) {
if(!function_exists($m)) {
include(self::$includeMap[$m]);
}
$r = call_user_func_array($m,$a);
return true;
}
}
then you do:
Utility::myfunc();
Of course, you'd have to prefix all the function calls with Utility or
what not.
