Operating System: MAC OS X 10.6.2
PHP Version: 5.3.1
New Comment:
I don't know how I didn't notice this earlier, but it seems the issue
isn't simply with a leading slash but with evaluating namespaces
entirely for autoloading. Consider the following code coupled with my
original autoloader function:
namespace Fully\Qualified;
new ClassName();
// expects: Fully\Qualified\ClassName
// outputs: Fully\Qualified\ClassName
$myClass = 'ClassName';
new $myClass();
// expects: Fully\Qualified\ClassName
// outputs: ClassName
It is my understanding that the loader functions are executed in the
global namespace and thus should only be dealing with fully qualified
namespaces. It appears as if the fully qualified namespace is evaluated
and passed to registered autoloaders if the class name is specified
explicitly, but the same cannot be said for class names that are created
dynamically.

Description:
------------
When you instantiate a namespaced class, the expected behavior is for
the fully qualified namespace with leading slash absent to be passed to
your registered function. However, if you instantiate a namespaced
class with a class name stored in a variable, the fully qualified
namespace is not evaluated and the leading slash (if specified) is
included.
You'll have to run the reproduce code twice to see what I mean.
Reproduce code:
---------------
function loadClass($class) {
die($class . PHP_EOL);
}
spl_autoload_register('loadClass');
$myClass = '\Fully\Qualified\ClassName';
// run this first:
new \Fully\Qualified\ClassName();
// run this second:
//new $myClass();
Expected result:
----------------
First run:
Fully\Qualified\ClassName
Second run:
Fully\Qualified\ClassName
Actual result:
--------------
First run:
Fully\Qualified\ClassName
Second run:
\Fully\Qualified\ClassName
