PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - PHP 5.3 namespaces: Support for importing and aliasing

Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 12:34 pm

According to me it is not possible to use namespaces in PhpED, because importing and aliasing don't work.

Code:

<?php
namespace Alpha
{
class Foo
{
   public function test()
   {
      echo __CLASS__ . "<br>\n";
   }
}
}

namespace Beta
{
use Alpha\Foo; // importing
use Alpha\Foo as Another; // aliasing

$foo = new Foo; // code completion fails
$foo->test(); // code completion fails

$another = new Another; // code completion fails
$another->test(); // code completion fails
}

I reported this, they said: "it will be implemented in a near future", it was 6 months ago…

Any news on this?

Quite a big issue now as key php ed features are effectively broken by namespacing, and I cant get away without using it.

It is really annoying. PHPEd still has NOT namespace support. This month expired my subscription and I am looking for new IDE Sad

Desperately need support for this. Would be nice if we could get an update from the devs on this.

Hello,
Sorry for the delay in our reply.
We'd like to let you know that our development is actively looking into it.
Also we'd like to make sure that there would be no confusion for people who would read this thread later. PhpEd DOES support namespaces and namespace completion, actually we were the first ones to do that. In this thread we're discussing only a small subset (still, an important one, everybody's point is well taken) of the namespace completion feature. Specifically it's the usage of "Use".
Again, thanks everybody for comments and discussion, we'll definitely implement this feature, but we can't provide a firm deadline as of now, sorry about that.
Best regards,
Nusphere Customer Care

All problems shown in the first post have been fixed in the build 5981, but there are still many situations when the code completion fails, for example class extending or calling static method.

Code:

<?php
namespace Alpha
{
class Foo
{
   public function test()
   {
      echo __CLASS__ . "<br>\n";
   }

   public static function staticMethod()
   {
      echo __CLASS__ . "<br>\n";
   }
}
}

namespace Beta
{
use Alpha\Foo; // importing
use Alpha\Foo as Another; // aliasing

$a = new Foo; // works since 5981
$a->test(); // works since 5981

$b = new Another; // works since 5981
$b->test(); // works since 5981

// calling static method
Foo::staticMethod(); // code completion fails
Another::staticMethod(); // code completion fails

// extending class
class A extends Foo
{
   public function foo()
   {
      $this->test(); // code completion fails
   }
}

class B extends Another
{
   public function foo()
   {
      $this->test(); // code completion fails
   }
}
}
