RE: [PHP-DEV] Simple Namespace Proposal

Hi, At first "import Zend::DB" is equivalent of "import Zend:DB as DB"; <?php require 'Zend/Db/Connection.php'; import Zend::DB; After these statement you can use any classes and functions from Zend::DB namespace qualifying them by prefix "DB::". $x = DB::Connection(); Thanks.
