Req #52574 [NEW]: function in namespace - call from string

From: Operating system: Ubuntu PHP version: 5.3.3 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:function in namespace - call from string Description: ------------ in a script without namespaces you could took the function name in a string und call it via $string() this does not work, if this function is located in a namespace. The analog case with classes is described as ok in the docs(dont have tested it), so it should also work with functions. So i Request to add this feature. Test script: --------------- <?php namespace bar{ function foo(){ echo "test", "\n"; } function foo2(){ echo "test2", "\n"; } function foo3(){ echo "test3", "\n"; } } namespace{ echo "start \n"; \bar\foo(); use \bar as haha; haha\foo2(); $test = 'haha\foo3'; $test(); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- test test2 test3 Actual result: -------------- test test2 Fatal error: Call to undefined function haha\foo3() in /home/flyingmana/Desktop/sandkasten/namespace.php on line 19 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52574&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52574&r=mysqlcfg
