note 115504 added to language.namespaces.definition

If your code looks like this: <?php namespace NS; ?> ...and you still get "Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement in the script" Fatal error, then you probably use UTF-8 encoding (which is good) with Byte Order Mark, aka BOM (which is bad). Try to convert your files to "UTF-8 without BOM", and it should be ok. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 89.78.6.71 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.definition.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115504 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115504/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115504/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115504/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115504/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115504/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115504/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115504 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115504 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
