<h3>Features</h3>

<kbd>[shared.phar](finfo?name=shared.phar)</kbd> is a streets ahead PHP autoloader.

  *  Self-contained in a single compressed [Phar <span class=glyph>⎘</span>](https://php.net/phar).
  *  Can be [updated easily](wiki/update) from the command line or [implicitly](wiki/AUTOLOADER_UPDATE).
  *  Is class-map based and handles identifiers PHP-compliant.
  *  ***Phar collections** become first class citizens*, as both plain `*.php` scripts and `phar://*` packages are scanned for identifier declarations.
  *  Indifferent to [PSR-0/4 constraints](wiki/FeatureComparison), works atop any legacy or custom directory scheme.
  *  Prepares [rfc:function_autoloading](wiki/rfc:function_autoloading) userland support.
  *  Can be used project-locally and for `/usr/share/php` handling.
  * And for deployment is just copied along with the classpath.
       

Also it's public domain.


### Usage

It can be [utilized](wiki/include_once) easily with:

     include_once("shared.phar");

And [updated manually](wiki/update) on the command line:

     php ./shared.phar

Or <em>implicitly</em> on development setups by pre-declaring an [environment variable](wiki/AUTOLOADER_UPDATE).

     SetEnv AUTOLOADER_UPDATE 1
