PHP OOP：使用字符串作为别名的标识符

Question

I have a class somewhere in some namespace. Say:

namespace space;
class MyClass(){}

What i want to do is to create an alias for this class without extending etc. Oherenly thing I have is a string which contains class name. What I would like to do is:

$className='MyClass';
use '\space\'.$className as 'space_'.$classname;

Is it possible somehow? Because "use" keyword expects class identifier's literal string token (expecting identifier (T_STRING)) and usual approach, like with variables (say, call function named in a variable by simply calling $functionName()), as described, for example, here, doesn't help.

UPD: Using eval doesn't work for that, of course.

Answer 1

So it seems you are looking for class_alias

class_alias('space\MyClass', 'space_MyClass');
