PHP & use of Namespaces

[Michelle Taylor]

Hi

I am bit curious to know your opinions about use of namespaces in PHP. Since I am using PHP I could not found any good reason to use them in my coding, however, I've been read it will be useful for the developers.

The actual intent behind using namespaces are avoiding contrasts with various libraries into a code.

Most probably I will not have to utilize them, but I think it is definitely consider several frameworks taking it on, particularly as most of the PHP users shifting from PHP 4 to the newer versions.

The actual plus point of namespaces in PHP is to avoid disputes among multiple libraries. For example if you import two files with the similar function name, then you'll have a play time with things.

Perhaps it will be helpful in few areas such as naming models and controllers that are not in the core library and do not really follow the directories naming convention.
