Hi again, I was asked to explain why I hadn't included ClassName->Method(); in the list of ideas that solve the ambiguity problem. I added a brief section to the RFC that does so: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaceissues#why_stas_s_proposed_solution_doesn_t_work
What you wrote is incorrect - it does not require changing syntax everywhere, but only in very rare cases where actual ambiguity exists. Actual ambiguity would exist only when different people without any communication between them or common design plan work on one namespace (which should never happen, but we know our users, so we give them some help even if they don't follow good practices). There's absolutely no need to rewrite any existing code. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
