Bug #55155 [Opn->Asn]: Cannot use non-bracketed namespaces in interactive shell on multiple lines

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55155&edit=1 ID: 55155 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported by: patrickallaert@php.net Summary: Cannot use non-bracketed namespaces in interactive shell on multiple lines -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.6 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: johannes Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Whenever you press enter and the shell assumes the code might be valid (crrect amount of quotes, braces etc.) it will be executed. So php > namespace a; and php > class A {}; will be executed independently, similar to being in different files being included. Maybe the logic for detecting whether it is executable code can be extended with this special case .. on second thought that's no good idea this would cause cases like this: php > namespace a; php > class A {} // declares a\A php > class A {} // declares A ... so we'd probably need a magic to set the current namespace. Not sure I really want that. Becomes quite a hack. Maybe it's best to document this limitation, but I'll try to think about a good thing to do.

Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class A in php shell code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55155&edit=1
