php class autoloader in the class constructor

Question

My class autoloader doesn't work in the class constructor.

public function __construct($place = 'site') {

    define('PLACE', $place);

    $source = ($place == 'site') ? PATH_SITE : PATH_ADMINISTRATOR;

    spl_autoload_register(function ($class) {

        // Load classes here dependent on the place location

    });
}

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

I assume that you need to use $source inside autoload function. You need to add use.

spl_autoload_register(function ($class)use($source) {

    // Load classes here dependent on the place location

});
