#21871 [NEW]: class_exists() doesn't work for nested classes

From: yoglets@hotmail.com Operating system: RedHat 7.3 PHP version: 5CVS-2003-01-24 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Bug description: class_exists() doesn't work for nested classes Given an instance of a nested class, get_class() returns the ":: separated" name for it, as expected. However, passing that value right back to class_exists() always fails -- i.e., returns FALSE. <?php class Foo { class Bar { } } $x = new Foo::Bar; if (class_exists(get_class($x))) { echo "x is looking good\n"; } else { echo "x is apparently not itself\n"; } ?> In addition, get_declared_classes() will only report on the top-level classes, leaving out any that are nested. In this example, it would report "Foo", but not "Foo::Bar". -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21871&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21871&r=gnused
