Sucker ;-)

Any way, it's easy to do itz like this:

function typo3_autoload() {
  ..
}

if (function_exists('spl_autoload_register')) {
  spl_autoload_register('typo3_autoload');
} else {
  function __autoload() {
    typo3_autoload();
  }
}

Happy?

Which one do you expect to be run together with TYPO3 that also defines
__autoload?

Masi

PS: Please note that Ingo pointed out that TYPO3 4.2 already throws SPL
exceptions. While I think that this can be changed quite easily it's
annoying to redefine such simple thinhgs just because SuSe cannot be
bothered to add a module that is meant to be included by default by the
PHP folks to its own "default list". Go and install that RPM.
But hey, let's be forward compatible again and use FLOW3's exceptions.
