CoreLoader

Filepath: phork/php/core/CoreLoader.class.php and phork/php/app/AppLoader.class.php

The CoreLoader class is used to include the various other classes that make up the application, and optionally to instantiate an object from an included class. There are several wrapper classes to include the most common class types. They are includeController(), includeModel(), includeHook(), includeExtension, and includeUtility().

The loader checks for the file in all the include paths set by set_include_path() in the front controller.

Example

//get the full include path to the public templates

		AppLoader::getIncludePath('sites/public/templates/');



		//include the database factory from the database directory

		AppLoader::includeClass('php/database/', 'DatabaseFactory');



		//include the site controller

		AppLoader::includeController('SiteController');

		

		//include the user model

		AppLoader::includeModel('UserModel');

		

		//include the common hooks

		AppLoader::includeHooks('CommonHooks');

		

		//include the debug log extension class

		AppLoader::includeExtension('debug/', 'DebugLog');

		

		//include the token utility class

		AppLoader::includeUtility('Token');

		

		//include and instantiate the file system handler

		$objFileSystem = AppLoader::newObject('php/ext/files/', AppConfig::get('FileSystem') . 'FileSystemHandler');
