com_create_guid Generate a globally unique identifier

string com_create_guid ( void )
Generate a globally unique identifier (GUID)
Generates a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID).

The phunction PHP framework (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phunction/) uses the following function to generate valid version 4 UUIDs:



<?phpfunction GUID()
{
    if (
function_exists('com_create_guid') === true)
    {
        return
trim(com_create_guid(), '{}');
    }
    return
sprintf('%04X%04X-%04X-%04X-%04X-%04X%04X%04X', mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(16384, 20479), mt_rand(32768, 49151), mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(0, 65535));

}
?>

The output generated by the sprintf() and mt_rand() calls is identical to com_create_guid() results.

spl_autoload What is spl_autoload function in php

spl_autoload What is spl_autoload function in php

void spl_autoload ( string $class_name [, string $file_extensions = spl_autoload_extensions() ] )
Default implementation for __autoload()
This function is intended to be used as a default implementation for __autoload(). If nothing else is specified and spl_autoload_register() is called without any parameters then this function will be used for any later call to __autoload().
spl_autoload_register() allows you to register multiple functions (or static methods from your own Autoload class) that PHP will put into a stack/queue and call sequentially when a "new Class" is declared.

Following is the example
 
<?php
spl_autoload_register('myAutoloader');
function loadAutoload($className){
    $path = '/path/to/class';
    include $path.$className.'.php';
}
$obj = new Zend_Log();
?>
