Sorry, have looked multiple times to the manual and havent find where
this was described for functions.

But back to the problem, i see the call from a string does work.

But if you use an namespace alias, like in my example, it does not work
anymore.

Is this real not a bug?

Description:
------------
in a script without namespaces you could took the function name in a
string und call it via $string()



this does not work, if this function is located in a namespace.





The analog case with classes is described as ok in the docs(dont have
tested it), so it should also work with functions.

So i Request to add this feature.

Test script:
---------------
<?php



namespace bar{



        function foo(){

                echo "test", "\n";

        }



        function foo2(){

                echo "test2", "\n";

        }

        function foo3(){

                echo "test3", "\n";

        }

}



namespace{

        echo "start \n";

        \bar\foo();

        use \bar as haha;

        haha\foo2();

        $test = 'haha\foo3';

        $test();

}





?>

Expected result:
----------------
test

test2

test3

Actual result:
--------------
test

test2



Fatal error: Call to undefined function haha\foo3() in
/home/flyingmana/Desktop/sandkasten/namespace.php on line 19
