Subject: __autoload()
From: lsmith@php.net (Lukas Smith)

Hi,

would it be possible to allow people to override the fixed name of 
__autoload() to a user defined function (static method?). I think this 
would be much more flexible and would probably also make it easier to 
exploit __autoload() inside class libraries. Especially as users are 
likely to use code from different class libraries.

Seems like a nice little addition for PHP 5.1 ...

regards,
Lukas
