PHP dynamic namespaces

Question

I need to be able to do this:

$ns = "\\common\\components\\cfoBi\\i18n\\{$countryCode}\\gimmea";
use $USP;

Obviously this won't work. So how can I do this? Have "dynamic namespaces"?

You can't have dynamic namepaces: why not create a language factory instead? — Mark Baker

Not possible. Namespaces, imports and aliases are resolved at compile time.

However, it is possible to create objects from a class name that is built at runtime:

$className = "common\\components\\cfoBi\\i18n\\{$countryCode}\\gimmea";

$object = new $className();

See PHP docs: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php#language.oop5.basic.new

Yep, I am familiar with that solution: of creating classes from dynamic class names. However, the best solution for me would have been the dynamic namespaces.
