ID: 49143 Comment by: alex dot howansky at gmail dot com Reported by: david at grudl dot com Summary: is_callable() and unnecessary backslash Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment: This bug is still present in 5.3.2 and also affects instantiating a new class from a string variable: function __autoload($class) { echo "$class\n"; } $obj = new MyProject\Thing(); // correct: MyProject\Thing $obj = new \MyProject\Thing(); // correct: MyProject\Thing $class = '\\MyProject\\Thing'; $obj = new $class(); // wrong: \MyProject\Thing Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-09 08:18:22] abca_b_cabcom at hotmail dot com hi david, you are not in a namespace it is just a classname. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-04 11:24:35] david at grudl dot com The two same class invokes autoloader with different class name (maybe better term is non-canonicalized class name). This means: every autoloader must call $name = ltrim($name, "\"). defined() removes leading "\" automatically, is_callable and method_exists do not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-04 11:16:07] j...@php.net Yes, which problem..? I don't see any errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-04 00:34:46] david at grudl dot com Tested with 5.3.1-dev (Sun, 02 Aug 2009 18:53:57 +0000), problem still exists. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-03 16:19:59] david at grudl dot com Description: ------------ is_callable() and method_exists() may invoke autoloader with unnecessary namespace backslash. \My\MyClass::func() is the same as My\MyClass::func(). Reproduce code: --------------- function __autoload($name) { echo $name; } is_callable('\My\MyClass::func'); // ERROR is_callable('My\MyClass::func'); // OK method_exists('\My\MyClass', 'func'); // ERROR method_exists('My\MyClass', 'func'); // OK // defined works well: defined('\My\MyClass::CONST'); // OK defined('My\MyClass::CONST'); // OK Expected result: ---------------- My\MyClass My\MyClass My\MyClass My\MyClass My\MyClass My\MyClass Actual result: -------------- \My\MyClass My\MyClass \My\MyClass My\MyClass My\MyClass My\MyClass ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49143&edit=1
