Re: phpnamespaces.org!

hi, personally, I find :::A, ::A and such constructs *extremely* ugly. Might I suggest using a special keyword to denote global scoped classes? eg: global:::A and such. global already is a keyword, but I'm pretty sure it could be reused in this context. Plus, it clearly shows where you're getting it all from. - tul Jessie Hernandez wrote:

Hi l0t3k, Yes, this is how it's done in C++, but do we want to allow this syntax for PHP? If so, it'll either be :::A, ::A (can be used, but might be inconsistent as ":::" is used everywhere else), or \A, depending on the final separator...

2) How will symbols be resolved inside namespaces? If a class "A" exists in namespace "N", and a global class "A" also exists, then by referencing "A", what should happen? Should the namespaced "A" be used? If so, then the global "A" cannot be accessed from the namespace. Is this OK? These

rules

would need to be the same and affects the following contexts:

i should know this, but does PHP use :: as the global scope resolver as

in

C++ ? if so,

namespaced A    ==>    $A
global A              ==>  ::$A
