Dynamic classname within a namespace - please help!

[biz0r]

I am stumped as to why this simple code will not work...anyone care to enlighten me?

 

<?
namespace test;

class testClass {
  function go() {
    echo "hello world";
  }
}

$x='testClass';
$t = new $x();
$t->go();
?>

 

Running that code gives me this error:

Fatal error: Class 'testClass' not found in test.php on line 11

 

If I remove the namespace declaration it works fine...anyone?

Nevermind guys...I found out for variable variables you need to use the full path when referencing a class.

 

The following fixed it for those interested:

<?php
namespace test;

class testClass {
  function go() {
    echo "hello world";
  }
}

$x = __NAMESPACE__.'\\testClass';
$t = new $x();
$t->go();
?>

You can declare the namespace using backslashes as well

 

<?
namespace test;

class testClass {
  function go() {
    echo "hello world";
  }
}

$x='\test\testClass';
$t = new $x();
$t->go();
?>
