From: lcfsoft at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.4.4RC1 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Autoloading for namespaces
Description: ------------ While OOP is conquering the world, "a function" is still sometimes enough. Introduce functionality for autoloading namespaces (of grouped functions, classes etc), in the same manner that exists for autoloading instantiated classes. (there is a similar feature request here https://bugs.php.net/bug.php? id=52385&edit=2, the key difference is that while autoloading for functions could get complicated, - for namespaces it is as straightforward as for classes) Test script: --------------- function __autoload($namespace) { require $namespace. '.php'; } //require_once 'myframework/mvc/dispatching.php'; // - want to get rid of these use myframework\mvc\dispatching; // - here it gets autoloaded even though it's not a class. dispatching\dispatch(...); -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62162&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62162&r=mysqlcfg
