Available since version 3.0.150.
Example
echo wireClassNamespace('Page'); // returns: "\ProcessWire\"
echo wireClassNamespace('DirectoryIterator'); // returns: "\"
echo wireClassNamespace('UnknownClass'); // returns "" (blank)
// Specify true for 2nd argument to make it include class name
echo wireClassNamespace('Page', true); // outputs: \ProcessWire\Page
// Specify true for 3rd argument to find all matching classes
// and return array if more than 1 matches (or string if just 1):
$val = wireClassNamespace('Foo', true, true);
if(is_array($val)) {
// 2+ classes found, so array value is returned
// $val: [ '\Bar\Foo', '\Foo', '\Baz\Foo' ]
} else {
// string value is returned when only one class matches
// $val: '\Bar\Foo'
} Usage
// basic usage
$string = wireClassNamespace ($className);
// usage with all arguments
$string = wireClassNamespace ($className, bool $withClass = false, bool $strict = false);Arguments
