Can someone explain on how to include other files/classes in a PHP class?

[2levelsabove]

Yes I have googled it yet the results have been inconsistent.

 

I just want to use the right methodology in terms of OOP development.  If I wish to include another class for its functions and/or PHP file what is the proper way to do it? I have also heard of _autoload() and am confused at this point.

 

Would appreciate any help. Thanks

 

//what if I want to include code from phpmailer class??????
class test{

var $test= "";

function test($test) { //constructor
$this->url=$test;
} 

function domesomething() {

return $result;
}



}

Probably the best way is this:

(or for more advanced usage: spl_autoload_register)
