Re: namespace equivalent in PHP

I do remember a chap named Jesse created a patch that implements namespaces, actually I recall that he wrote a stack of different patches related to various namespace implementations - you'd have to search for them (and the relevant discussions on the internals mailing list) in order to determine if they are a viable option for you. > I have several class which should work together, or Class B which is > used to > create a private property of class A. > > How can i do that without including the class B into the class A definition > ? er, you don't, at least not with vanilla php. :-/ which leaves the question to why you want to do this, maybe there is a simpler alternative. it might simply be down to letting go of [your] C++ mindset somewhat and just living with less structured/rigid/er? code in php ... not that I know anything about C++ (and not meaning any insult) > > thanks a lot, >
