php Dynamic Namespaces to handle new versions of API

[Mike Enos]

I have hundreds of php scripts much like /examples/Adwords/v201809/BasicOperations/GetCampaignsWithAwql.php

Each time there is an API version update I need to go and manually EVERY file to use the new version, and make sure NONE are missed.

Yuck!!!!!

For example:

namespace Google\AdsApi\Examples\AdWords\v201809\BasicOperations;

require __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';

use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsServices;

use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsSession;

use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsSessionBuilder;

use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\Query\v201809\ServiceQueryBuilder;

use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\CampaignService;

use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\Page;

use Google\AdsApi\Common\OAuth2TokenBuilder;

What would be awesome is if I could have a file like "latestAPIVersion.php" which contained simply  "$version = "v201809"

and I could include that file.

It doesn't seem the use or namespace command allows variables ie.. namespace Google\AdsApi\Examples\AdWords\$version\BasicOperations;

What is everyone else doing out there to handle this?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately, you may need to do that for pointing to the latest version at your end. I will let other users share their inputs if they are handling it differently.
