Title Body

I have run into an interesting dilema. In a DataMapper class, I am generating a class name to be used for returned rows from a database. The thing is, all of my classes are autoloaded, and can come from many places (library, application/models, etc.) and I wanted to check if the class name generated actually exists. Now, one would think that: try { $test = new $className(); } catch(Exception $ex) { // Class could not be loaded } But of course, php errors (instead of throwing an exception) saying the class could not be found... Not very helpful. Short of rewriting the autoloader in Zend_Loader to search all directories to see if the class could be loaded, is there anyway to accomplish this? For anyone wondering why I would need to do this instead of just letting the Class Not Found error show up, if the class isn't found, I want to generate a class in a pre-determined location to make my life easy as this project goes along. Thanks in advance! Amy P.S. Let me know if you guys need any more info.
