ID: 21871 Comment by: thekid at thekid dot de Reported By: yoglets at hotmail dot com Status: Verified Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: RedHat 7.3 PHP Version: 5CVS-2003-01-24 (dev) New Comment: As nested class no longer exist, I assume this can be closed. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-24 19:34:19] yoglets at hotmail dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21871&edit=1
