What are some common pitfalls when using an autoloader in PHP, and how can they be avoided?
One common pitfall when using an autoloader in PHP is not properly registering the autoloader before attempting to load classes. This can result in classes not being found or loaded correctly. To avoid this, make sure to register the autoloader using spl_autoload_register() before attempting to use any classes.
spl_autoload_register(function($class) {
include 'path/to/classes/' . $class . '.php';
});
