I guess I should note, that the variable coming into this function would
be
something like:
'user'
user.php--
<?php
namespace classes;
class user {
}

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.
