PHP has the ability to run a function when attempting to load a class which doesn't yet exist, which can load a file from the filesystem and get the class into memory. The CI version of autoloading is a manually entered list of classes to be loaded (a little ironic actually :p).

Very good question. I am self taught as well, and have been using CI for about 2 years now. I can autoload libs and helpers. I would love to read his answer there.

Also another question would be which frameworks is he currently using and what are its advantages.

I answered his questions directly; I'm not doing too much PHP development these days, it is mostly Node stuff.
