From: Operating system: Linux x86 PHP version: 5.3.5 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Use of dynamic class name in namespace construction
Description: ------------ --- >From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.namespaces.dynamic --- When not using namespaces the following code works just fine Function loadClass ($class) { $this->obj = new $class(); } However, when attempting to implement namespaces: function loadClass ($class) { $this->obj = \classes\$class(); } Throws an "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_STRING". Which is kind of silly, since the corrected function looks like: function loadClass ($class) { $class = '\classes\\'.$class; $this->obj = new $class(); } Upon reading other bugs that query about using dynamic content in namespaces, I'm confused as to why the latter example above actually does work if namespaces are computed on compile time, when the class isn't known at compile time. Expected result: ---------------- I kindly request that you be able to use dynamic elements when using namespaces. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53904&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53904&r=mysqlcfg
