Bug description:Add string casting support for class/interface names
Description:
------------
Please add a way to get the fully qualified class or interface name without
the need to create an object. While it is possible to declare a static
variable in classes as a workaround, this will not work with interfaces, as
you can't declare members inside them. A common trick I've seen is to use a
constant:
namespace Foo\Bar;
interface A {
const __NAME = __CLASS__;
}
factory(Bar\A::__NAME); // calls factory with '\Foo\Bar\A'
Though this won't work with inheritance. The magic __NAMESPACE__ constant
is also no help when importing namespaces. I propose to use the __CLASS__
keyword to implement such a feature, as it is not allowed to have a class
constant of this name:
namespace Foo\Bar {
interface A {}
}
namespace Orange\Banana {
use Foo\Bar;
echo Bar\A::__CLASS__; // should print "Foo\Bar\A"
}
