Re: Namespace access modifiers

Would this not do the same thing and perhaps be easier to implement: namespace Foo; protected $var; class Bar { } thus allowing use of private public protected before variables, and hell why not classes aswell. private = only methods, code, classes in namespace Foo have access protected = only methods, code, classes in namespace Foo or children Foo::Too have access public = everybody the same inheritance rules etc as classes.. makes sence :) and great idea! got my vote, especially with the braces in namespaces! namespace Foo; { protected $var; public class Extender {

     public function __construct() {
         ......
     }

} } Nathan Ralph Schindler wrote:

Since everyone is in the "namespace" frame of mind, is there a possibility of a "namespace" access modifier? The way I envision this working is that if for example: namespace Foo; class Bar { nsprotected $_someProperty = null; } (or some other equivalent grammer) Would allow the property Foo::Bar::$_someProperty to be accessed from any class that has implemented a class from the Foo namespace. Reaching for straws or is this a possibility? -ralph
