@ginerjmJul 01.2019 — You're correct - it really doesn't make sense to me. But OTOH - why do you/I care even? What is the purpose of either one of these functions? From some other reading it appears that the only need for either of these is if you are using a whole bunch of classes that may or may not be inter-related and you have many scripts that require them all to be loaded and you don't want to have to add them manually (or not). I dunno.

But since I DON'T WRITE that many classes, I don't think I'll ever need be concerned. Are you into writing that many classes already in your development?

@coleioauthorJul 01.2019 — the __autoload function is used to load several files in a specified folder to save having several includes but that was deprecated and replaced by spl_autoload and the PHP manual isn't very noob friendly so I can't figure out how to use it correctly. Any resource I have found so far refers to spl_autoload_register and I haven't the foggiest on that.

However I may have found a helpful article regarding these functions so I will post it here once I've read it
