I don't see how this implementation of namespaces gives you anything you didn't already have. Let's say someone is writing a set of classes to handle gizmos... most developers would write something like: <?php class GizmoBird() { } class GizmoPlane() { } ?> Now with namespaces, this would look like: <?php namespace Gizmo; class Bird() { } class Plane() { } ?> But this doesn't really help you isolate your classes any better. someone else could still write another set of classes with the same namespace, and Gizmo::Bird would clash with another developer's Gizmo::Bird, in the exact same way that GizmoBird would clash with another developer's GizmoBird. So effectively, all you've done is add a couple of colons to the classnames... I honestly hope developers in general don't start using this... ---- Server IP: 87.54.44.10 Probable Submitter: 82.143.224.4 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.definition.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81417 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81417/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81417/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81417/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81417/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81417/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81417/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81417 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81417 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
