Namespaces and dynamic language features
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7)
PHP's implementation of namespaces is influenced by its dynamic nature as a programming language. Thus, to convert code like the following example into namespaced code:
Example #1 Dynamically accessing elements
example1.php:
<?php
class classname
{
function __construct()
{
echo __METHOD__,"\n";
}
}
function funcname()
{
echo __FUNCTION__,"\n";
}
const constname = "global";
$a = 'classname';
$obj = new $a; // prints classname::__construct
$b = 'funcname';
$b(); // prints funcname
echo constant('constname'), "\n"; // prints global
?>
Example #2 Dynamically accessing namespaced elements
<?php
namespace namespacename;
class classname
{
function __construct()
{
echo __METHOD__,"\n";
}
}
function funcname()
{
echo __FUNCTION__,"\n";
}
const constname = "namespaced";
/* note that if using double quotes, "\\namespacename\\classname" must be used */
$a = '\namespacename\classname';
$obj = new $a; // prints namespacename\classname::__construct
$a = 'namespacename\classname';
$obj = new $a; // also prints namespacename\classname::__construct
$b = 'namespacename\funcname';
$b(); // prints namespacename\funcname
$b = '\namespacename\funcname';
$b(); // also prints namespacename\funcname
echo constant('\namespacename\constname'), "\n"; // prints namespaced
echo constant('namespacename\constname'), "\n"; // also prints namespaced
?>
Be sure to read the note about escaping namespace names in strings.
