PHP 8.3.4 Released!

Namespaces und dynamische Sprachfeatures

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Die Implementierung von Namespaces in PHP ist stark von seinen Eigenschaften als Programmiersprache mit dynamischen Features beeinflusst. Man kann also den folgenden Code in Code mit Namespaces umformen:

Beispiel #1 Dynamischer Zugriff auf Elemente

example1.php:

<?php
class classname
{
function
__construct()
{
echo
__METHOD__,"\n";
}
}
function
funcname()
{
echo
__FUNCTION__,"\n";
}
const
constname = "global";

$a = 'classname';
$obj = new $a; // gibt classname::__construct aus
$b = 'funcname';
$b(); // gibt funcname aus
echo constant('constname'), "\n"; // gibt global aus
?>
Um diesen Code umzuformen, muss man den vollständig qualifizierten Namen (Klassenname mit namespace-Präfix) verwenden. Beachten Sie, dass, weil es keinen Unterschied zwischen einem qualifizierten und vollständig qualifizierten Namen innerhalb eines dynamischen Klassen-, Funktions- oder Konstantennamen gibt, der führende Backslash nicht notwendigerweise angegeben werden muss.

Beispiel #2 Dynamischer Zugriff auf Elemente mit Namespace

<?php
namespace namespacename;
class
classname
{
function
__construct()
{
echo
__METHOD__,"\n";
}
}
function
funcname()
{
echo
__FUNCTION__,"\n";
}
const
constname = "namespaced";

/* Wenn man doppelte Anführungszeichen verwendet,
muss "\\namespacename\\classname" verwendet werden */
$a = '\namespacename\classname';
$obj = new $a; // gibt namespacename\classname::__construct aus
$a = 'namespacename\classname';
$obj = new $a; // gibt ebenfalls namespacename\classname::__construct aus
$b = 'namespacename\funcname';
$b(); // gibt namespacename\funcname aus
$b = '\namespacename\funcname';
$b(); // gibt ebenfalls namespacename\funcname aus
echo constant('\namespacename\constname'), "\n"; // gibt namespaced aus
echo constant('namespacename\constname'), "\n"; // gibt ebenfalls namespaced aus
?>

Bitte lesen Sie auch den Hinweis zum Escaping von Namespacenamen in Strings.

When extending a class from another namespace that should instantiate a class from within the current namespace, you need to pass on the namespace.

<?php // File1.php
namespace foo;
class
A {
public function
factory() {
return new
C;
}
}
class
C {
public function
tell() {
echo
"foo";
}
}
?>

<?php // File2.php
namespace bar;
class
B extends \foo\A {}
class
C {
public function
tell() {
echo
"bar";
}
}
?>

<?php
include "File1.php";
include
"File2.php";
$b = new bar\B;
$c = $b->factory();
$c->tell(); // "foo" but you want "bar"
?>

You need to do it like this:

When extending a class from another namespace that should instantiate a class from within the current namespace, you need to pass on the namespace.

<?php // File1.php
namespace foo;
class
A {
protected
$namespace = __NAMESPACE__;
public function
factory() {
$c = $this->namespace . '\C';
return new
$c;
}
}
class
C {
public function
tell() {
echo
"foo";
}
}
?>

<?php // File2.php
namespace bar;
class
B extends \foo\A {
protected
$namespace = __NAMESPACE__;
}
class
C {
public function
tell() {
echo
"bar";
}
}
?>

<?php
include "File1.php";
include
"File2.php";
$b = new bar\B;
$c = $b->factory();
$c->tell(); // "bar"
?>

(it seems that the namespace-backslashes are stripped from the source code in the preview, maybe it works in the main view. If not: fooA was written as \foo\A and barB as bar\B)

Important to know is that you need to use the *fully qualified name* in a dynamic class name. Here is an example that emphasizes the difference between a dynamic class name and a normal class name.

<?php
namespace namespacename\foo;

class
classname
{
function
__construct()
{
echo
'bar';
}
}

$a = '\namespacename\foo\classname'; // Works, is fully qualified name
$b = 'namespacename\foo\classname'; // Works, is treated as it was with a prefixed "\"
$c = 'foo\classname'; // Will not work, it should be the fully qualified name

// Use dynamic class name
new $a; // bar
new $b; // bar
new $c; // [500]: / - Uncaught Error: Class 'foo\classname' not found in

// Use normal class name
new \namespacename\foo\classname; // bar
new namespacename\foo\classname; // [500]: / - Uncaught Error: Class 'namespacename\foo\namespacename\foo\classname' not found
new foo\classname; // [500]: / - Uncaught Error: Class 'namespacename\foo\foo\classname' not found

Be careful when using dynamic accessing namespaced elements. If you use double-quote backslashes will be parsed as escape character.

<?php
$a
="\namespacename\classname"; //Invalid use and Fatal error.
$a="\\namespacename\\classname"; //Valid use.
$a='\namespacename\classname'; //Valid use.
?>

Please be aware of FQCN (Full Qualified Class Name) point.
Many people will have troubles with this:

<?php

// File1.php
namespace foo;

class
Bar { ... }

function
factory($class) {
return new
$class;
}

// File2.php
$bar = \foo\factory('Bar'); // Will try to instantiate \Bar, not \foo\Bar

?>

To fix that, and also incorporate a 2 step namespace resolution, you can check for \ as first char of $class, and if not present, build manually the FQCN:

<?php

// File1.php
namespace foo;

function
factory($class) {
if (
$class[0] != '\\') {
echo
'->';
$class = '\\' . __NAMESPACE__ . '\\' . $class;
}

return new
$class();
}

// File2.php
$bar = \foo\factory('Bar'); // Will correctly instantiate \foo\Bar

$bar2 = \foo\factory('\anotherfoo\Bar'); // Wil correctly instantiate \anotherfoo\Bar

It might make it more clear if said this way:

One must note that when using a dynamic class name, function name or constant name, the "current namespace", as in http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.basics.php is global namespace.

One situation that dynamic class names are used is in 'factory' pattern. Thus, add the desired namespace of your target class before the variable name.

namespaced.php
<?php
// namespaced.php
namespace Mypackage;
class
Foo {
public function
factory($name, $global = FALSE)
{
if (
$global)
$class = $name;
else
$class = 'Mypackage\\' . $name;
return new
$class;
}
}

class
A {
function
__construct()
{
echo
__METHOD__ . "<br />\n";
}
}
class
B {
function
__construct()
{
echo
__METHOD__ . "<br />\n";
}
}
?>

global.php
<?php
// global.php
class A {
function
__construct()
{
echo
__METHOD__;
}
}
?>

index.php
<?php
// index.php
namespace Mypackage;
include(
'namespaced.php');
include(
'global.php');

$foo = new Foo();

$a = $foo->factory('A'); // Mypackage\A::__construct
$b = $foo->factory('B'); // Mypackage\B::__construct

$a2 = $foo->factory('A',TRUE); // A::__construct
$b2 = $foo->factory('B',TRUE); // Will produce : Fatal error: Class 'B' not found in ...namespaced.php on line ...

Case you are trying call a static method that's the way to go:

<?php
class myClass
{
public static function
myMethod()
{
return
"You did it!\n";
}
}

$foo = "myClass";
$bar = "myMethod";

echo
$foo::$bar(); // prints "You did it!";

as noted by guilhermeblanco at php dot net,

<?php

// fact.php

namespace foo;

class
fact {

public function
create($class) {
return new
$class();
}
}

?>

<?php

// bar.php

namespace foo;

class
bar {
...
}

?>

<?php

// index.php

namespace foo;

include(
'fact.php');

$foofact = new fact();
$bar = $foofact->create('bar'); // attempts to create \bar
// even though foofact and
// bar reside in \foo
