[PHP] Consistent Class Renaming (Simple Refactoring)
Hi there, i have following problem: Assume we have a "cron.php" which is called every hour by a cron job. This cron.php should then be used to execute other php-scripts "script1.php", "script2.php". For a pitty our server has Safe-Mode activated so we arent able to shell_exec / exec those files. So we came up with the idea: Lets include those scripts using include(). But this lead us to another problem: Namespace conflicts (our server is running php 2.7.2) especially with classes and constants. Example: <> <> <> Cron.php will raise a "cannot redefine class A" error. So my idea is to continously rename every occurence of class names and constants in the scripts by adding a suffix (ie. class A_123 and class A_234). Do you have an idea how to implement this during the deployment step? Sincerly yours -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Consistent Class Renaming (Simple Refactoring)
Thanks for your replys.
Of course >>PHP 2.7.2<< was a careless mistake, i meant PHP 5.2.7, to
underline i'm not able to use those neat namespace features in PHP 5.3.
Let me provide you with more details.
As already mentioned cron.php should include at least two other
php-scripts because shell_exec cannot be called in safe-mode (which is
on). I am able to manipulate those scripts but as they could be quite
complex i dont want to check precisely.
But if I include them they probably could share the same classnames for
a semantically different class.
I just wanted to know if there is already a solution which could detect
those overlappings or prevent them by consistently renaming the classes
(ie class A in script1 gets class A_1 and class A in script2 gets class
A_2, and all class-calls get "new A"=> ("new A_1" | "new A_2") and
"A::xx" => ("A_1::xx" | "A_2::xx") ).
Is there a specification in php which says how classes could exactly be
defined and called? Because im afraid that there will be more
dependencies to change then (ie Same-named constructor methods (backward
compatibility)). If there is i could write a script which renames the
classes automatically.
Otherwise i would have to wait until server updates to >=5.3
Sincerly yours,
toni
