This package provides a very simple way to get aspect oriented programming capabilities in your PHP classes with little overhead. Please see the code in tests/AspectTest.php to see how to use it.

    $aspectee = Aspect::getAspectedInstance('Aspectee');
    $aspectee->doThisThing();

You can easily hijack or create a PHP class autoloader that implements AOP this way. Using this Aspect class you make classes that are Aspectees and use the @has annotation to say what Aspects they have. The naming convention is such that it looks for the class you say it has plus the word Aspect.

eg: @has Example looks for and loads a class by the name of ExampleAspect.

The Aspect class methods are either named (before|after)<Classname><MethodName> or have the @match annotation in the same format to get applied correctly. Using the @match annotation you can also match to regular expressions.
