Req #73049 [NEW]: Confusing namespace when calling missing function
From: david at grudl dot com
Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: Scripting Engine problem
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Confusing namespace when calling missing function
Description:
------------
When you call undefined global function inside namespace, the error
message contains namespace, which is usually confusing.
Example: Suppose that I have not enabled extension 'json' by mistake.
Now this code
<?php
namespace Nette;
echo json_encode($x);
?>
leads to error "Call to undefined function Nette\json_encode()". The
better message should be "Call to undefined function json_encode()".
I know how works function name resolution, but consider these points:
1) functions are used in namespaces only rarely
2) functions are usually called without leading slash, i.e. not fully
qualified
3) both error messages are correct, none is more correct than the other
So it is much more likely that I call a global function, so it would be
preferable to use message WITHOUT namespace.
