So I've been messing around with the latest 5.3-dev builds on my localhost, after testing out the Namespace-feature in 5.3-dev by porting parts of my own framework to it I ran into some buggy (or atleast wierd) behaviour concerning autoload and functions inside namespaces.
Basicly, the call is this: Demo::Functions::test(); where both Demo and Functions are namespaces, and test() is a function inside the Demo::Functions namespace. If you have an autoload handler here and the file containing the Demo::Function::test()-decleration isn't loaded, autoload will be called. Now everything seems fine, but the problem is that when the autoload hooks have all fired php looks for the class Demo::Function, because autoload seems to be interpreting the Demo::Function::test(); call as: <Namespace>::<Class>::<Function>, when it should be <Namespace>::<Namespace>::<Function>, and since the Function class doesn't exist it will trigger a fatal error. I have included an example in the __autoload.zip (http://arenagrande.tv/__autoload.zip), containing 3 files, check the comment in demo.php for a better explenation. However, I can see why php would behave this way, since autoload was intended for classes and not functions, but imho. autoload should be made to work perfectly with namespaces aswell as classes. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
