Posted on: 2016-08-03 Summary: Sometimes you need to call different functions in sequence. However if one of the functions throws an exception you may not be able to execute the other functions unless you catch the exceptions of each function.

Posted on: 2016-07-29 Summary: Many Web applications have browser side (JavaScript) code making AJAX calls to server side code in PHP that is mapped to classes of objects.
Usually the server side code needs to register classes or functions that will handle the AJAX calls.
However, when you have many classes to handle your Web application AJAX calls, registering classes one by one can be a tedious time consuming task.
The package provides a more efficient method to register many classes at once. You just specify a directory and the package will lookup and load the classes on demand when the AJAX calls are received.
This way you also do not have to waste time instantiating objects of the handler classes until they are necessary.
