PHP namespace issueSo, this is just kind of weird. I don't know yet if it's a bug or just something I've overlooked. Code: <?php namespace greenmine\config;
use ferret\data as FD;
class cServerSpec extends FD\cDBServerSpec {}
class csDataSpec extends FD\csSpecs {
static protected function GetSpec(string $sKey) : cServerSpec {
Error: "Class ferret\data\FD\cDBServerSpec was requested but is neither loaded nor registered with the Class Loader." The major clue, I think, is that if I replace all the "FD" aliases with "\ferret\data", I get the exact same error -- which suggests that the problem is actually in some other file. ...yep, that's what it was! The parent-class had been moved from a file with a different namespace, so needed to use the "FD\" alias-prefix, into a file with the "ferret\data" namespace, which did not need the alias and so did not have it defined. ...but the error message blamed the child-class. So typical of that generation... Data-Mangling SyntaxHow about something like... <array_var>(<var_for_key>,<var_for_val>){ ...code... } That means "for each element in <array_var>, assign the element's name to the variable <var_for_key> and value to <var_for_val> and then execute the code in the curly braces". Why not just <syntaxhighlight lang=php inline>foreach ($array_var as $key => $val) { ...code>... }</syntaxhighlight, as in PHP? I don't know, except that seems more complicated and less succinct. I want to keep the syntax (and parser code) simple. |
