Installation example:

1. Create target directory

   Example: mkdir /usr/local/myphplibs Example: mkdir /usr/local/myphplibs/autoload

2. Move to the right place

   cp autoload.php autoload /usr/local/myphplibs cp autoload/classhunter.php /usr/local/myphplibs/autoload cp autoload/static.classes.php.template /usr/local/myphplibs/autoload

3. Storage of your class files

   Create subfolders in the /usr/local/myphplibs directory and copy your scripts there for the autoloader should be reachable.

4. Configuration

   Open the file autoload.php in the /usr/local/myphplibs directory and match the lines between // configure starts here and // configure ends here to your needs:

    // configure starts here
   
    // which (sub) directory should be scanned: (or array ("*") for all dirs)
    public static $ dirs = array ("my", "html", "db", "test");
   
    // which filename extentions should be scanned
    public static $ fext = array ("php", "inc");
   
    // mail address for reporting errors (or leave it blank):
    public static $ email = "root @ localhost";
   
    // scripts to include allways
    public static $ includeallways = array ("/usr/local/myphplibs/myfunc.php", ...);
   
    // configure ends here
   

   Explanation:

   public static $dirs=array("my","html","db","test"); Lists the subdirectories in which to search for php files

   public static $fext=array("php","inc"); Enter the name extensions of the php files you are using here

   public static $email="root@localhost"; Enter the email address for error notifications here or leave it blank

   public static $includeallways=array("/usr/local/myphplibs/myfunc.php", ...); Enter the absolute path names of the php files to be always included here (maybe empty: array())

5. Perform a search for the static creation

   cd /usr/local/myphplibs/autoload

   Test run: php ./classhunter.php test

   To save: php ./classhunter.php putstatic
