<p class="short-description">Class Package</p>
<p class="description"><p>Class provides methods to import packages of classes without the need to use __autoload(). This is achieved via its public method import($path) which allows a Java-Like type of import.</p><p>It allows to use the wild card character * to import all php classes in a directory.</p><p>Example of usage in home directory:</p><p><pre>include_once("classes/Package.class.php");
$package = new Package();
$package->import('classes.*');
$package->import('classes.sql.*');
Or can be used to import single classes
$package->import('classes.sql.AClass.php')</pre></p></p>

<p class="short-description">loadClasses($path)</p>
<p class="description"><p>To be called after all calls to import() have been made</p><p>$path should be in the form (../ or ../../ etc) and represents the location where all classes for your projects are located</p><p>For example if you have files calling this method in public_html, and classes to load in public_html/classes there is no need to change the default value for $path argument.</p><p>If you are loading classes from a directory above the location of the file calling this method $path should be set to ../ or ../../ and so on.</p><p>The best way to define $path is to do it via a constant variable in the Packagable interface file, before the definition of the interface itself is made. This to avoid having the / characters as a argument to this function.</p><p></p></p>
