From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.8 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Bug Bug description:__CLASS__ includes the namespace definition
Description: ------------ With the introduction of namespaces, the __CLASS__ magic constant has changed (without being documented) to include the current namespace as part of the class name. I submit that since there is a __NAMESPACE__ magic constant that the __CLASS__ constant should be reverted to its previous behavior. It seems more natural to concatenate __NAMESPACE__ and __CLASS__ to get a qualified name, rather than using basename() to get just the class name. At the very least, the documentation for namespaces (http://php.net/namespace), Magic Constants (http://us.php.net/manual/en/language.constants.predefined.php), and Backwards Incompatible Changes (http://us.php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php) should be updated to reflect this change. Test script: --------------- <?php namespace Foo; class Bar { public function __construct() { echo __CLASS__ . PHP_EOL; } } $bar = new Bar; // echo's Foo\Bar ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect the above test script to return just the class name (i.e., Bar). Actual result: -------------- The test script above returns the qualified class name (i.e., Foo\Bar). -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55696&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55696&r=mysqlcfg
