spl_autoload with namespace php

Question

I am makeing a small framework for scheduled job that are run by a nodejs external process. I would like to use an auto loader but for some reason data is not getting to it. I am also using namespaces. Here is what my folder structure looks like:

Library
  |_ Core
     |_ JobConfig.php
  |_ Utilities
     |_ Loader.php
  |_ Scheduled
     |_ SomeJob.php
  |_ Config.php

My Config.php just has some definitions and an instance of my Loader.php .

Loader.php looks like:

public function __constructor()
{
    spl_autoload_register(array($this, 'coreLoader'));
    spl_autoload_register(array($this, 'utilitiesLoader'));
}

private function coreLoader($class)
{
    echo $class;
    return true;
}

private function utilitiesLoader($lass)
{
    echo $class;
    return true;
}

So for my SomeJob.php I am including Config.php and then try to instantiate JobConfig.php when it fails. My namespaces look like Library\\Core\\JobConfig and so on. I am not sure if this is the best approach without the ability to bootsrapt things. But I am not seeing the echo's from the loader before it fails.

Edit:

I tried the sugestion by @Layne but did not work. I am still getting a class not found and seems like the class in not getting in the spl stack. Here is a link to the code

If you actually use namespaces in the same way you're using your directory structure, this should be rather easy.

<?php
namespace Library {
    spl_autoload_register('\Library\Autoloader::default_autoloader');

    class Autoloader {
        public static function default_autoloader($class) {
            $class = ltrim($class, '\\');

            $file = __DIR__ . '/../';
            if ($lastNsPos = strrpos($class, '\\')) {
                $namespace = substr($class, 0, $lastNsPos);
                $class     = substr($class, $lastNsPos + 1);
                $file .= str_replace('\\', '/', $namespace) . '/';
            }

            $file .= $class . '.php';
            include $file;
        }
    }
}

Put that into your Library directory and require it on a higher level. Hopefully I didn't mess that one up, didn't test it.

EDIT: Fixed path.

use this class to index of your project, just replace WP_CONTENT_DIR with another directory level to scan php files, this class automatically include files:

    <?php

class autoloader
{

    public static function instance()
    {
        static $instance = false;
        if( $instance === false )
        {
            // Late static binding
            $instance = new static();
        }

        return $instance;
    }

    /**
     * @param $dir_level directory level is for file searching
     * @param $php_files_json_name name of the file who all the PHP files will be stored inside it
     */
    private function export_php_files($dir_level, $php_files_json_name)
    {

        $filePaths = array(mktime());
        /**Get all files and directories using iterator.*/
        $iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($dir_level));

        foreach ($iterator as $path) {
            if (is_string(strval($path)) and pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION) == 'php') {
                $filePaths[] = strval($path);
            }
        }

        /**Encode and save php files dir in a local json file */
        $fileOpen = fopen($dir_level . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $php_files_json_name, 'w');
        fwrite($fileOpen, json_encode($filePaths));
        fclose($fileOpen);
    }

    /**

            if (stripos($path, $class_file_name) !== false) {

                $inc_is_done = true;
            }
        }
        return $inc_is_done;
    }
