note 92608 added to language.namespaces.rules

The term "autoload" mentioned here shall not be confused with __autoload function to autoload objects. Regarding the __autoload and namespaces' resolution I'd like to share the following experience: ->Say you have the following directory structure: - root | - loader.php | - ns | - foo.php ->foo.php <?php namespace ns; class foo { public $say; public function __construct() { $this->say = "bar"; } } ?> -> loader.php <?php //GLOBAL SPACE <-- function __autoload($c) { require_once $c . ".php"; } class foo extends ns\foo // ns\foo is loaded here { public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); echo "<br />foo" . $this->say; } } $a = new ns\foo(); // ns\foo also loads ns/foo.php just fine here. echo $a->say; // prints bar as expected. $b = new foo; // prints foobar just fine. ?> If you keep your directory/file matching namespace/class consistence the object __autoload works fine. But... if you try to give loader.php a namespace you'll obviously get fatal errors. My sample is just 1 level dir, but I've tested with a very complex and deeper structure. Hope anybody finds this useful.
