New Comment:
Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
quoting the migration guide:
"The following keywords are now reserved and may not be used in
function, class, etc. names.
* goto
* namespace"

In the end of http://docs.php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php
page are mentioned the new keywords introduced in 5.3.
But yes, the FAQ. needs an update to state this point.
Thanks.

Description:
------------
After upgradeing from php 5.2.4 to 5.3.2 (with ubuntu 10.4), the
following code won't work:
<?PHP
class namespace extends something {
}
?>
The error message: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected
T_NAMESPACE, expecting T_STRING in ...
The documentation says:
Q: If I don't use namespaces, should I care about any of this?
A: No. Namespaces do not affect any existing code in any way
( http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.faq.php
)
Test script:
---------------
<?PHP
class namespace extends something {
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
in this case, I won't define a php-namespace, but a functionality within
my application, which was called so before namespaces existed in php.
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NAMESPACE, expecting
T_STRING in ...
