#12 Call to class_exists() forces class loading ...

[Richard Quadling]

Hi.

Couldn't get the complete subject in ...

Call to class_exists() forces class loading if used within an environment where an autoload() exists (either __autoload() or via spl_autoload_register()).

Since PHP5, class_exists() has accepted a second parameter to suppress the auto loading of a class whilst seeing if it exists (i.e. previously loaded).

Patch supplied.

Inhibit autoloading of class while testing for its existence.
