Beispiele

Beispiel #1 class_exists() Beispiel

<?php
// prüft vor Benutzung ob die gewünschte Klasse definiert ist
if (class_exists('MyClass')) {
    
$myclass = new MyClass();
}

?>

Beispiel #2 autoload Parameter Beispiel

<?php
function __autoload($class)
{
    include(
$class '.php');

    
// Prüft ob die includierte Datei die Klasse tatsächlich definiert
    
if (!class_exists($classfalse)) {
        
trigger_error("Die Klasse $class kann nicht geladen werden"E_USER_WARNING);

I've got a problem, which I can't solve.
Let's assume that class Zend_Registry exists in global namespace.

---
namespace myNs;

class SomeClass {
   public function MyFunc() {
      class_exists('Zend_Registry'); // return false
      class_exists('\Zend_Registry'); // return false
      class_exists('::Zend_Registry'); // return false
   }
}
---

How would I check for a class, which exists outside of myNs?

If you recursively load several classes inside an autoload function (or mix manual loading and autoloading), be aware that class_exists() (as well as get_declared_classes()) does not know about classes previously loaded during the *current* autoload invocation.

Apparently, the internal list of declared classes is only updated after the autoload function is completed.

If spl_autoload_register() had been called, then function will try autoload class if it does not exists.

Use instead
<?php
in_array
($class_name, get_declared_classes());
?>

If you planned to use utf-8 in classes or variables names, remember that locale has to be properly set firstly, e.g.
<?php
locale
(LC_ALL, 'ru_RU.UTF-8');
?>
or it turn into errors.

If you want to combat many class includes effectively, define your own autoloader function and spl_autoload_register() that autoloader.

[ >= PHP 5.3]

If you are checking if a class exists that is in a specific namespace then you have to pass in the full path to the class:

echo (class_exists("com::richardsumilang::common::MyClass")) ? "Yes" : "No";

Like someone else pointed out class_exists() is case-INsensitive.

Using in_array() which is case-sensitive, the following function is a case-sensitive version of class_exists().

<?php
function class_exists_sensitive( $classname )
{
   return (
class_exists( $classname ) && in_array( $classname, get_declared_classes() ) );
}
?>

Just a note that at least PHP 4.3.1 seems to crash under some situations if you call class_exists($foo) where $foo is an array (that is, the calling code is incorrect but the error recovery is far from perfect).

If you have a directory of classes you want to create. (Modules in my instance)... you can do it like that

<?php
if (is_dir($this->MODULE_PATH) && $dh = opendir($this->MODULE_PATH)) {
   while ((
$file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {       
      if (
preg_match("/(Mod[a-zA-Z0-9]+).php/", $file, $matches)>0) {               
        
// include and create the class              
        
require_once($this->MODULE_PATH."/".$file);
        
$modules[] = new $matches[1]();
      }               
   }
} else {
   exit;
}
?>

//---
Here the rule is that all modules are on the form
ModModulename.php and that the class has the same name as the file.
The $modules array has all the classes initialized after this code
