Namespaces e recursos de linguagem dinâmica

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

A implementação de namespaces do PHP é influenciada por sua natureza dinâmica como linguagem de programação. Assim, para converter código como o exemplo a seguir em código com namespace:

Exemplo #1 Acessando elementos dinamicamente

exemplo1.php:

<?php
class nomedaclasse
{
function
__construct()
{
echo
__METHOD__,"\n";
}
}
function
nomedafuncao()
{
echo
__FUNCTION__,"\n";
}
const
nomedaconstante = "global";

$a = 'nomedaclasse';
$obj = new $a; // imprime nomedaclasse::__construct
$b = 'nomedafuncao';
$b(); // imprime nomedafuncao
echo constant('nomedaconstante'), "\n"; // imprime global
?>
Deve-se usar o nome totalmente qualificado (nome da classe prefixado com o namespace). Observe que, como não há diferença entre um nome qualificado e um nome totalmente qualificado em um nome de classe, nome de função ou nome de constante dinâmico, a barra invertida inicial não é necessária.

Exemplo #2 Acessando dinamicamente elementos com namespace

<?php
namespace nomedonamespace;
class
nomedaclasse
{
function
__construct()
{
echo
__METHOD__,"\n";
}
}
function
nomedafuncao()
{
echo
__FUNCTION__,"\n";
}
const
nomedaconstante = "comnamespace";

/* note que, ao usar aspas duplas, "\\nomedonamespace\\nomedaclasse" deve ser usado */
$a = '\nomedonamespace\nomedaclasse';
$obj = new $a; // imprime nomedonamespace\nomedaclasse::__construct
$a = 'nomedonamespace\nomedaclasse';
$obj = new $a; // também imprime nomedonamespace\nomedaclasse::__construct
$b = 'nomedonamespace\nomedafuncao';
$b(); // imprime nomedonamespace\nomedafuncao
$b = '\nomedonamespace\nomedafuncao';
$b(); // também imprime nomedonamespace\nomedafuncao
echo constant('\nomedonamespace\nomedaconstante'), "\n"; // imprime comnamespace
echo constant('nomedonamespace\nomedaconstante'), "\n"; // também imprime comnamespace
?>

Certifique-se de ler a nota sobre escapamento de namespaces em 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

?>
