call_user_method
If spl_autoload_register() had been called, then function will try autoload class if it does not exists.
Use instead
<?php
in_array($class_name, get_declared_classes());
?>
class_exists
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
class_exists — Controleert of de gegeven naam bestaat als klasse
Beschrijving
bool class_exists
( string $klasse_naam
)
Deze klasse retourneert TRUE als de door klasse_naam aangeven klasse is gedefinieerd. Zo niet dan retourneert deze FALSE.

If you planned to use utf-8 in classes or variables names, remember that locale has to be properly set firstly, e.g.
<?php
locale (LC_ALL, 'ru_RU.UTF-8');
?>
or it turn into errors.

If you want to combat many class includes effectively, define your own autoloader function and spl_autoload_register() that autoloader.

[ >= PHP 5.3]
If you are checking if a class exists that is in a specific namespace then you have to pass in the full path to the class:
echo (class_exists("com::richardsumilang::common::MyClass")) ? "Yes" : "No";

Like someone else pointed out class_exists() is case-INsensitive.
Using in_array() which is case-sensitive, the following function is a case-sensitive version of class_exists().
<?php
function class_exists_sensitive( $classname )
{
return ( class_exists( $classname ) && in_array( $classname, get_declared_classes() ) );
}
?>

Just a note that at least PHP 4.3.1 seems to crash under some situations if you call class_exists($foo) where $foo is an array (that is, the calling code is incorrect but the error recovery is far from perfect).

If you have a directory of classes you want to create. (Modules in my instance)... you can do it like that
<?php
if (is_dir($this->MODULE_PATH) && $dh = opendir($this->MODULE_PATH)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (preg_match("/(Mod[a-zA-Z0-9]+).php/", $file, $matches)>0) {
// include and create the class
require_once($this->MODULE_PATH."/".$file);
$modules[] = new $matches[1]();
}
}
} else {
exit;
}
?>
//---
Here the rule is that all modules are on the form
ModModulename.php and that the class has the same name as the file.
The $modules array has all the classes initialized after this code
