note 82969 added to language.namespaces.definition

I see nothing wrong with this implementation. Having free code disallowed in namespaces is (I think) a good thing. If namespaces are used in a script, it is quite clear that the script is strongly object oriented, and thus the usage of variables and code that are "raw" in a namespace is nothing less than weird! That functionlity would much better fit inside a class (or a Singleton?). It is the same principle behind what makes global variables a bad choice. As far as the naming conventions go, a namespace is only meant to help you "isolate" your constructs from what others might accidentally create and then clash with your scripts. Of course one could potentially use the same identifiers as another but the point is that such an act would be intentional and not accidental! When you create a library, you might want to put everything inside a namespace that is intuitively connected to you or your project and not something that someone else might be inclined to use. Alas, this truly has NOTHING to do with the language! ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 81.181.209.118 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.definition.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82969 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82969/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82969/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82969/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82969/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82969/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82969/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82969 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82969 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
