What is the exact error message, and where/when does it occur?

[jgetner]

here is the error message Class 'load' not found in C:\wamp\www\phpEngine_v0.1\engine\core\bootstrap.php on line 48

here is my bootstrap

define('DS' , '/');

define('EXT' , '.php');

define('ENGINE_VERSION' , '0.1');

if(!defined('__BASEPATH__'))
{
	define('__BASEPATH__' , str_replace( '\\' , '/' , getcwd() . DS));
}

if(!defined('__ENGINE__'))

I suppose I'd start by doing a var_dump() of your $autoload_it object after it's instantiated to see if the paths look correct? Also, I might try to add something to the constructor in case none of the if() conditions fire. (Maybe making them if/elseif... then an else at the end of the chain that throws an exception? Not sure if each if() is supposed to be exclusive, though, or if more than one could conceivably fire?)
