Forward action between two modules on this same controllers name about yaf

+1 for the namespace, although i dont know if this has any conflict with routes.

hmm, PHP implemented namespace in a very tricky way, that is, if you define a class Foo in a Namespace Bar, the really class name is 'Bar\Foo",

in the opinion of Yaf loader, it equal to class Bar_Foo, so if we supports namespace in module, how can the Yaf Loader tell controller A in module B (B_A) from the ctronller B_A?

[HarasimowiczKamil]

I think in modules controller's name must be like Bar\Foo or Bar_Foo (if namespaces is off). Routes definitions can look this same, because we can get namespace from module name. Only problem is not backward-compatible, but in this form modules don't work correctly.

So to answer your question, Yaf loader know it is namespaces on or off (from php.ini), know what module it is from routes or default route like /module/controller/action so Loader can load good controller. But this is only a suggestion there may be a better solution.

hmm, php.ini is a way(bc), let me think about it. thanks

There is an issue in the current implementation of modules. Controllers in a module can have the same name with controllers in another module. So Yaf loader can not load the right controller, in some cases (forwarding, extending).
Defining a module as a namespace then may partial solve the problem.

Assuming the controllers IndexController and Admin\indexController. IndexController can be found in default module (index) and Admin\IndexController can be found in Admin module.

But maybe there is also an Admin\IndexController in the default module (index). The right way should be
Index\IndexController in Index module, Admin\IndexController in Admin module and Index\Admin\indexController in Index module. So even default module (index) should have a namespace.
This can work without namespaces by replacing \ with _.

Right now, Yaf defines the current module from the Request right? That is why can handle controllers with the same name in different modules. But when there is a need to extend a controller between modules or forward a controller from a module to another, then appears the above problem.

Hey

Just encountered this issue.
Is there any decision about this issue?

Thanks, Ofer
