#50731 [NEW]: Inconsistent namespaces sent to functions registered with spl_autoload_register

From: court at epixa dot com Operating system: MAC OS X 10.6.2 PHP version: 5.3.1 PHP Bug Type: SPL related Bug description: Inconsistent namespaces sent to functions registered with spl_autoload_register Description: ------------ When you instantiate a namespaced class, the expected behavior is for the fully qualified namespace with leading slash absent to be passed to your registered function. However, if you instantiate a namespaced class with a class name stored in a variable, the fully qualified namespace is not evaluated and the leading slash (if specified) is included. You'll have to run the reproduce code twice to see what I mean. Reproduce code: --------------- function loadClass($class) { die($class . PHP_EOL); } spl_autoload_register('loadClass'); $myClass = '\Fully\Qualified\ClassName'; // run this first: new \Fully\Qualified\ClassName(); // run this second: //new $myClass(); Expected result: ---------------- First run: Fully\Qualified\ClassName Second run: Fully\Qualified\ClassName Actual result: -------------- First run: Fully\Qualified\ClassName Second run: \Fully\Qualified\ClassName -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50731&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50731&r=mysqlcfg
