Methods summary
`public static`	# `loadClass( string $class, string\|array $dirs = null )` Loads a class from a PHP file. The filename must be formatted as "$class.php". Loads a class from a PHP file. The filename must be formatted as "$class.php". If $dirs is a string or an array, it will search the directories in the order supplied, and attempt to load the first matching file. If $dirs is null, it will split the class name at underscores to generate a path hierarchy (e.g., "Zend_Example_Class" will map to "Zend/Example/Class.php"). If the file was not found in the $dirs, or if no $dirs were specified, it will attempt to load it from PHP's include_path. Parameters `$class` `string` - The full class name of a Zend component. `$dirs` `string\|array` - OPTIONAL Either a path or an array of paths to search. Throws `Zend_Exception`
`public static boolean`	# `loadFile( string $filename, string\|array $dirs = null, boolean $once = false )` Loads a PHP file. This is a wrapper for PHP's include() function. Loads a PHP file. This is a wrapper for PHP's include() function. $filename must be the complete filename, including any extension such as ".php". Note that a security check is performed that does not permit extended characters in the filename. This method is intended for loading Zend Framework files. If $dirs is a string or an array, it will search the directories in the order supplied, and attempt to load the first matching file. If the file was not found in the $dirs, or if no $dirs were specified, it will attempt to load it from PHP's include_path. If $once is TRUE, it will use include_once() instead of include(). Parameters `$filename` `string` `$dirs` `string\|array` - OPTIONAL either a path or array of paths to search. `$once` `boolean` Returns `boolean` Throws `Zend_Exception`
`public static boolean`	# `isReadable( string $filename )` Returns TRUE if the $filename is readable, or FALSE otherwise. This function uses the PHP include_path, where PHP's is_readable() does not. Returns TRUE if the $filename is readable, or FALSE otherwise. This function uses the PHP include_path, where PHP's is_readable() does not. Note from ZF-2900: If you use custom error handler, please check whether return value from error_reporting() is zero or not. At mark of fopen() can not suppress warning if the handler is used. Parameters `$filename` `string` Returns `boolean`
`public static array`	# `explodeIncludePath( string\|null $path = null )` Explode an include path into an array Explode an include path into an array If no path provided, uses current include_path. Works around issues that occur when the path includes stream schemas. Parameters `$path` `string\|null` Returns `array`
`protected static`	# `_securityCheck( string $filename )` Ensure that filename does not contain exploits Ensure that filename does not contain exploits Parameters `$filename` `string` Throws `Zend_Exception`
