PHP4 compatible namespaces

[TerraFrost]

One thing that could be done to give phpseclib easy namespace support while retaining PHP4 compatibility would be to say that people wanting namespaces need to do require 'phpseclib.php' at the top of their file. namespace.php would then do this:

Code: Select all

<?php
function phpseclib_autoloader($class) {
    eval("namespace PhpSecLib; class Demo { function __toString() { return 'DDDD'; }}");
}

spl_autoload_register('\PhpSecLib\phpseclib_autoloader');

$a = new \PhpSecLib\Demo();
echo $a;

More playing around with PHP4 compatible namespaces...

Code: Select all

<?php
function phpseclib_autoloader($class) {
    eval("namespace PhpSecLib; class File_Demo { function __toString() { return 'DDDD'; }}");
    class_alias('\PhpSecLib\File_Demo', 'PhpSecLib\Demo');
}

spl_autoload_register('phpseclib_autoloader');

$a = new \PhpSecLib\Demo();
echo $a;

Also, streams could be used, instead of eval:
