#40679 [Bgs->Csd]: problems with $class_name in __autoload

ID: 40679 User updated by: habeck at gmx dot de Reported By: habeck at gmx dot de -Status: Bogus +Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2.1 Assigned To: helly New Comment: Sorry for this "bug report". You are right for version 5.2.1. In earlier versions it automatically seems to replace the empty string (second argument) with "SimpleXMLElement" and everything works fine. Now you explicitly have to fill in the default classname "SimpleXMLElement". So thanks for the help. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-03 13:39:01] helly@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Ok read this again. It is all perfectly fine and there is no crash. There is only an E_ERROR. That is because you explicitly set class name to \'\' - RTFM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-03 11:21:24] helly@php.net The crash is not good but you should really read the documentation. I'll fix the crash. Not your problem though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-03 05:08:36] habeck at gmx dot de There are three files: autoload-file (test.php): <?php function __autoload($class_name) { require_once($class_name.'.php'); } $txt = 'config.xml'; $o = new blah($txt); $o->sayHallo(); ?> class-file (blah.php): <?php class blah { private $var; function __construct($var = '') { $this->var = simplexml_load_file($var, '', LIBXML_NOCDATA+LIBXML_COMPACT); } function sayHallo() { print('hallo world!'); } } ?> xml-file (config.xml): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> <config> <templates> </templates> </config> error comment: I have tried to find out where the error occurs and it seems that the empty second parameter in the function call "simplexml_load_file" overrides the variable value of $class_name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-01 11:08:45] tony2001@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-01 10:56:35] habeck at gmx dot de same error on windows 2003 with apache 2.0.59 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
