Bug description: mindless in classes declaration ( class included in other class)
Description:
------------
"I am not sure whether this is a bug, a feature, or lack of a feature."
The class must be declared in a global scope. But there no explanation
about class declarations that are included in function or in method of
other class.
If I would like to declare a class inside other class or function, I will
have an error. But the strange is that, if I make an include into a
function or in class method, then all is working fine: my new class
declaration (included from other file) become normal and I can use
the class as global declared class.
The question is: why class declaration not permitted inside the functions,
but
it is possibly to load it in the function using
"include(...)" command.
Examples(1):
------- class_in_method.php ----------
<?php
//start
class glob
{
var $i;
function glob1()
{
class incl
{
function incl_test()
{
return "result!!";
}
}
$i=new incl();
echo $i->incl_test();
}
};
$g=new glob();
$g->glob1();
//end
?>
well, it not works, as listed in all manuals. It shows error:
Fatal error : Class declarations may not be nested.
---- end example(1) -----------
But when we are using include("...")
Examples(2):
-------- class_in_method_included.php -------------
<?php
//start
class glob
{
var $i;
function glob1()
{
include("incl_class.inc");
// class incl
// {
// function incl_test()
// {
// return "result!!";
// }
// }
$i=new incl();
echo $i->incl_test();
}
};
$g=new glob();
$g->glob1();
?>
//where "incl_class.inc" file contains:
<?php
class incl
{
function incl_test()
{
return "result!!";
}
}
//end
?>
this example works normal and returns as expected:
result!!
---- end example(2) -----------
all i'v found in bug lists that similar to my request is Bug #11835,
but it is different to my question (man try to include content of class,
not the whole class declaration as i'm doing).
Expected result:
----------------
result!!
