How can PHP files or classes be reloaded to reflect updates during runtime?

When PHP files or classes are updated during runtime, they are not automatically reloaded, so changes may not be reflected in the code. One solution is to use a technique called autoloading, which allows classes to be loaded only when they are needed. This can be achieved by using the spl_autoload_register() function to register a custom autoloader that dynamically loads classes as they are called. 

spl_autoload_register(function ($class) {
    include $class . '.php';
});

// Example usage
$example = new ExampleClass();
