very basic oop question

I would like to keep all my classes in a folder placed within the htdocs folder where my php script runs.  Let's say the classes folder is com\jimslounge\classes.  From my script can I instantiate a class like this

$myClass = new com\jimslounge\classes\Jimsclass();  Does it work something like that?  I would hate to have to use include to access classes.

There is no way you can instantiate a class without "including" the file.

Either implicitly or explicitly you will have to include the class file.

 

There would be frameworks which do that for you and support the format you desire, but the only difference is the framework will include the file instead of you doing in explicitly.

Thank you, I was just thinking of that since the class is in a php file what else are you going to do.  I'm used to Actionscript 3 it's done differently there.
