How to use a reserved word as a model name?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I have a requirement to use the word "case" as an object in my application. Thus I need a CaseController, Case model, Case views, etc…

However, case is a reserved word in Php. So I want to know what is the workaround. Please don’t reply and say it can’t be done! :blink: I am looking for creative solutions! B) from the masters of Yii!

I simply postfix classnames of my models with “Model” to avoid naming conflicts . Not really creative indeed :) but works.

From my 5 minutes of research, you can either:

  1. Spend hours trying to figure out some obscure hackaround (if it’s even possible)

  2. Spend 1 minute telling your client “No, it can’t be done”
