Alternative PHP Autoloader

An alternative way of writing an autoload-function. From my personal experience it works and returns the proper boolean values.

Feedback is welcome!

autoloaders.php

<?php

function traditional_autoload($class)
{
  $class = 'path/to/' . $class . '.php';
  $file  = stream_resolve_include_path($class);
  if ($file) { require $file; }
  return $file !== false;
}


function alternative_autoload($class) {
  return false !== (@include('path/to/' . $class . '.php')); 
}
