I have 3 files inside a folder:
index.php
<?php
include ('MyProject.php');
$controller = new MyProject\MyProject();
$controller::execute();
?>
MyProject.php
<?php
namespace MyProject;
class MyProject{
public static function execute(){
include ('database.php');
$pdo = database::connect();
}
}
?>
database.php
<?php
class database{
public static function connect(){
return 'connect';
}
}
?>
Why when I include database.php inside myproject.php, php shows the following error:
Fatal error: Class MyProject/database not found in ...
In my case I don't want to add namespace in database.php, why this is happening and how can I solve this problem?
Included files don't inherit of namespace. So your database object is related to the global namespace, which is \. To call it inside another namespace, use the use statement or add the global namespace \ before the class name :
\database::connect();
Or
namespace MyProject;
use \database;
class MyProject{
public static function execute(){
include ('database.php');
$pdo = database::connect();
}
}

See the global space section of namespaces. You would need to precede any class calls within the global space with a backslash. In your case:
$pdo = \database::connect();
