PHP 5.3 namespace support is missing

General Questions/Discussions
1

Today I was trying Instant Reverse an source.
But it fails at the namespace charater in PHP 5.3 ‘’

PHP 5.2 is end of life, and namespaces are getting used more and more these days so I’m surprised VP-UML does not support this yet.
When will this be implemented?

Thank you for your message but it seems this is already fixed in our latest release. May I know what version and build number of the tool you are using? And can you try update to latest release and see is it working?

Best regards,

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, it’s working now.

But not as good as possible, namespaces are parsed.
But not created with the source.

May I know what you mean by not created with the source? You mean not generated in source code?

Best regards,

"You mean not generated in source code? "
Yes :slight_smile:

Like:

namespace RF\Controller ;

And

class ClassA extends \RF\ClassB { }

And the same goes for PHP Doc which uses dots instead of backslash.

Confirm that. Latest version of SDE-EC, trial. Tried to instant reverse Zend Framework2:

Error occured when analysis: C:\workspace\ZendFramework2\library\Zend\Amf\Parser\Exception.php. Encountered “\” at line 5, column 29

File content:

<?php

namespace Zend\Amf\Parser;

interface Exception extends \Zend\Amf\Exception
{
}

Same problem here, any updates on this?

Hi all,

We have supported namespace in PHP Instant Reverse. Please run the VP Suite Update to update the software to latest build and have a try.

and another addition to my previous post, i have removed the line just for the instant reverse and the next line it errord out was this:

$content = <<<'CONTENT'

with the error:

Reason :
Error occured when analysis: E:\path\Finder.php. Lexical error at line 25, column 31.  Encountered: "\'" (39), after : ""

hi,

just trying to help :), here is another snippet which stops execution of instant reverse:

class Zend_Filter_Boolean implements Zend_Filter_Interface
{
    const BOOLEAN      = 1;
    const INTEGER      = 2;
    const FLOAT        = 4;
    const STRING       = 8;
    const ZERO         = 16;
    const EMPTY_ARRAY  = 32;
    const NULL         = 64;
    const PHP          = 127;
    const FALSE_STRING = 128;
    const YES          = 256;
    const ALL          = 511;

here the reverse has a problem with the line “const NULL = 64”, which is valid php (although most IDEs will choke on the syntax highlighting here).

Five months later, php namespace reverse still not working. I have version 10.0, build 20120806. Any update?

14

i want php namespace!!!

Hi, I noticed that instant reverse has a problem with parsing multiple implements that use namespaces.
This class declaration generates an error on the first ‘, \TYPO3’

class FileBackend extends \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Cache\Backend\SimpleFileBackend implements \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Cache\Backend\PhpCapableBackendInterface, \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Cache\Backend\FreezableBackendInterface, \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Cache\Backend\TaggableBackendInterface {
    [...]
}

Sorry about this issue and our engineers are checking about the multiple implements problem you experienced. I’ll keep you post once there are any update and please be patient.
