Globaler Namensraum

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Ohne die Definition eines Namespace werden alle Klassen- und Funktionsdefinitionen im globalen Namensraum platziert, so wie dies auch in PHP geschah bevor Namespaces unterstützt wurden. Wenn man dem Namen ein \ voranstellt, so spezifiziert man, dass der Name dem globalen Namensraum angehört, auch wenn man sich im Kontext eines Namensraumes befindet.

Beispiel #1 Verwenden der Spezifikation des globalen Namensraumes

<?php
namespace A\B\C;

/* Diese Funktion ist A\B\C\fopen */
function fopen() {
/* ... */
$f = \fopen(...); // globale Funktion fopen aufrufen
return $f;
}
?>

Included files will default to the global namespace.
<?php
//test.php
namespace test {
include
'test1.inc';
echo
'-',__NAMESPACE__,'-<br />';
}
?>

<?php
//test1.inc
echo '-',__NAMESPACE__,'-<br />';
?>

Results of test.php:

--
-test-

Note that variables aren't part of the namespace so they are always global (or scoped to function, etc.) and can't be accessed the same way as other namespace stuff.

So no:

namespace Foo;
$var = "hello";
echo \Foo\$var;

In namespaced context the Exception class needs to be prefixed with global prefix operator.

<?php

namespace hey\ho\lets\go;

class
MyClass
{
public function
failToCatch()
{
try {
$thing = somethingThrowingAnException();
} catch (
Exception $ex) {
// Not catched
}
}

public function
succeedToCatch()
{
try {
$thing = somethingThrowingAnException();
} catch (
\Exception $ex) {
// This is now catched
}
}

}

To define an associative array (hash) so that it is part of the namespace, instead of going into the global namespace, just declare it as const, istead of as a variable.

This is handy for lookup tables, config settings, etc.

// Example. Instead of writing:

$my_datatypes = [
"sterility" => [
"xlsx" => [
"Sample Type",
"Run Pass/Fail",
"Result"
],
"db" => [
"SampleType",
"RunPassFail",
"Result"
]
]
];

// ...declare the lookup table like this:

const MY_DATATYPES = [
"sterility" => [
"xlsx" => [
"Sample Type",
"Run Pass/Fail",
"Result"
],
"db" => [
"SampleType",
"RunPassFail",
"Result"
]
]
];

// ...and it will be declared within the current namespace.
