ID: 62257 Comment by: ni...@php.net Reported by: valentiny510 at yahoo dot es Summary: Allow variables in class create Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Class/Object related Operating System: XP PHP Version: 5.4.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: If you want to shorten long names make use of the namespacing support introduced in 5.3. Simply write use SomeVery\VeryLong\NameAndMore as ShortName; and you're done. You can also do this programmatically using class_alias().

Not only for long names.. but also for autoloading/extending multiple classes.. now I let you to imaginate.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-08 01:08:33] valentiny510 at yahoo dot es Description: ------------ I think may be very useful sometimes allowing the use of variables when create some class like this: $class = 'test'; class $class { } Sometimes when working with some cms/framework etc.. they have a_very_very_very_long_name_for some_classes and will be more easy (depends of situation) to have an array with shorten name. Ex: $short_names = array ( 'short1' => 'a_very_long_name_of_some_class', 'short2' => 'another_very_long_name'); foreach ($short_names as $short => $long) class $short extends $long { } /*endforeach*/; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62257&edit=1
