zend autoloading abstract classes

Question

What is the best way to autoload abstract classes

I have a class Formprocessor_Userregistrate extends Formprocessor Both files are in the same directory, but it cannot find Formprocessor

I already used $autoloader->registerNamespace('Formprocessor_');

When I change the name of Formprocessor into Formprocessor_Formprocessor; I get an "invalid controller" exception

What is the best technique to load those abstract classes?

thanks, Richard

Answer 1

ZF convention specifies that you should keep your abstract at the same directory level as the concrete implementations. So, you probably want this:

Formprocessor/Userregistrate.php

Which would contain:

class Formprocessor_Userregistrate extends Formprocessor_Abstract

And this:

Formprocessor/Abstract.php

Which would contain

abstract class Formprocessor_Abstract
