An alternative approach could be to auto-load only namespaced things and leave non-namespaced stuff alone.

It's not quite as simple as that, as examples have already shown. # file a.php namespace Acme\Foo; function a() {

    return 'Hello World';

} # file b.php namespace Acme\Foo; function b() {

    $message = a();  # this is a call to Acme\Foo\a
    return strpos($message, 'Hello'); # this is a call to \strpos

} There's no way of telling that the a() is namespaced and the strpos() is global until *after* the autoloader has run. There *might* be a function Acme\Foo\strpos which is autoloadable. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
