See http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.rules.php What you mean is a "qualified name" so it would be a QN. On 11 December 2017 at 10:28, Marco Pivetta wrote: > Weird, that looks wrong to me, so I may be wrong here. > > When receiving a string containing a symbol,

Weird, that looks wrong to me, so I may be wrong here. When receiving a string containing a symbol, the only sensible approach is to consider it a FQN, as no context is provided with the string. Marco Pivetta http://twitter.com/Ocramius http://ocramius.github.com/ On Mon, Dec 11, 2017 at

Re: [PHP-DEV] Reflection API: Add ::getFullName() method.

If you really want to expose a symbol's FQN, I suggest exposing the internal name as per `(array)` cast semantics. namespace A { class B { public $c; private $d; private $e; } } That would be: "A\B#\$c" "A\B#\0*\0\$d" "A\B#\0A\\B\0\$e" Obviously, the `\0` is

[PHP-DEV] Reflection API: Add ::getFullName() method.

I propose a new method ::getFullName() for all methods that implement \Reflector. (I would add it to the \Reflector interface, but this would be a BC break.) The full name would be, depending on the type: function: "str_replace()", "Acme\foo()". class: "Acme\Animal\Cat", "stdClass". method:
