Reproduce code: --------------- namespace foo\bar; class Baz { public $value; public function __construct($v) { $this->value = $v; } public function echoValue() { echo 'Value: ' . $this->value, PHP_EOL; } } $classname1 = '\foo\bar\Baz'; $classname2 = 'foo\bar\Baz'; $a = new $classname1('A'); $a->echoValue(); $b = new $classname2('B'); $b->echoValue(); $c = new \foo\bar\Baz('C'); $c->echoValue(); $d = new foo\bar\Baz('D'); $d->echoValue(); Expected result: ---------------- Value: A Fatal error: Class 'foo\bar\foo\bar\Baz' not found in /Users/tj/Documents/workspace/yeti/lib/yeti/NamespaceTest.php on line 20 Actual result: -------------- Value: A Value: B Value: C Fatal error: Class 'foo\bar\foo\bar\Baz' not found in /Users/tj/Documents/workspace/yeti/lib/yeti/NamespaceTest.php on line 24 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47057&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47057&r=mysqlcfg
