ID: 49046 Updated by: cel...@php.net Reported By: simon at stienen dot name -Status: Assigned +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2009-07-24 (SVN) Assigned To: dmitry New Comment:
the code below is looking for the Bar constant in the current namespace, see http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.nsconstants.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-24 16:38:28] der...@php.net Nonsense Jani, we allow more than on per file. Dmitry, could you please have a look? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-24 15:32:54] j...@php.net RTFM: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.definition.php You can only have one namespace per file.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-24 13:18:46] simon at stienen dot name Whyever this is necessary: <?php namespace Foo; const Bar = "Blob"; namespace \Bar; function x() { echo __NAMESPACE__; } x(); ?> ... happy now?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-24 11:26:58] simon at stienen dot name Description: ------------ So much wrong here ... The initial intention was to get back into global namespace using the "namespace X;" syntax. (Why isn't this possible? Neither as namespace; namespace \; ... not even namespace \\;) Curiously, "namespace \" expected the name of a constant. Even more curiously, "namespace \foo" is looking for the constant "foo" in the *current* namespace. If the constant exists, the namespace directive is simply ignored. If it does not, the script dies with a fatal error. Reproduce code: --------------- namespace Foo; const Bar = "Blob"; namespace \Bar; function x() { echo __NAMESPACE__; } x(); Expected result: ---------------- Pretty much everything else than the actual result ... but at least "Bar" or "Blob" Actual result: -------------- Foo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49046&edit=1
