Is it possible in the current stable version of the Zend Framework (1.11), to work with application classes using PHP namespaces?
Application\Form\Abc instead of Application_Form_Abc
Application\Model\Xyz instead of Application_Model_Xyz
etc.
Starting from v1.10, ZF supports autoloading namespaces, and it's working fine when including namespaced libraries, but I was unsuccessful when trying to do the same job with application classes.
Actually there is a simple workaround suggested by Dmitry on the ZF issue tracker:
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAutoloader()
{
$loader = function($className) {
$className = str_replace('\\', '_', $className);
Zend_Loader_Autoloader::autoload($className);
};
$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$autoloader->pushAutoloader($loader, 'Application\\');
}
}
Works like a charm for me!
