I have started going through Modernizing Legacy Applications in PHP for AB website, and now the database is loaded via an autoloader.

/**

namespace Mlaphp;

class Autoloader
{
    public function load($class)
    {
        // strip off any leading namespace separator from PHP 5.3
        $class = ltrim($class, '\\');

        // the eventual file path
        $subpath = '';

        // is there a PHP 5.3 namespace separator?
        $pos = strrpos($class, '\\');
        if ($pos !== false) {
            // convert namespace separators to directory separators
            $ns = substr($class, 0, $pos);
            $subpath = str_replace('\\', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $ns)
                     . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
            // remove the namespace portion from the final class name portion
            $class = substr($class, $pos + 1);
        }

        // convert underscores in the class name to directory separators
        $subpath .= str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $class);

        // the path to our central class directory location
        $dir = dirname(__DIR__);

        // prefix with the central directory location and suffix with .php,
        // then require it.
        $file = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $subpath . '.php';
        require $file;
    }
}

I had to tweak the file path for the database file from

classes/database/class.database.php

to

classes/Database/Database.php

And add namespace Database to it, but now it is loaded via the autoloader script above in alllll the places it is needed. Overall, I removed 75 lines of require_once('class.database.php')
