Description

private function Yaf_Loader::__construct()

Examples

Example #1 Obtaining the Yaf_Loader singleton

<?php
$app = new Yaf_Application(__DIR__ . "/conf/application.ini");

/* the constructor is private; use getInstance() instead */
$loader = Yaf_Loader::getInstance();
var_dump($loader instanceof Yaf_Loader);

/* instantiating directly raises an Error */
try {
    $loader = new Yaf_Loader();
} catch (Error $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

bool(true)
