Re: [PHP-DEV] simple solution to another namespace conundrum?

2008-06-26 Thread James Dempster
I would agree, they seem to cause more problems and pollution than it would solve. I like the idea behind namespaces but what I've seen of the current implementations I would rather do without. Unfortunately I don't have any ideas or solutions to the problems. /James Dempster On T

Re: [PHP-DEV] simple solution to another namespace conundrum?

2008-06-24 Thread James Dempster
I find it interesting that we could quite possibly get just as many clashes with namespaced code. Of course it comes down to how well the developer implements there code. It's almost like namespace is just a method of aliasing long class names. On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 4:38 PM, Lukas Kahwe Smith <[

[PHP-DEV] Name resolution rules

2008-05-28 Thread James Dempster
I find the namespace resolution rules quite confusing. It's become quite difficult to tell if I'm calling a static method or a function, or namespaced static method or namespaced function, and so on. I don't quite fully understand or appreciated the point of namespaces. If some one could help me ou

[PHP-DEV] PHP_5_3 GOTO?

2008-04-02 Thread James Dempster
Hi All, My first post here. :-) Just started using PHP_5_3 for a development project. It's a fairly long project so 5.3 should be out before it's finished. My reason for using PHP_5_3 was for late static binding (been longing for this feature). While using 5.3 I also get to test the develo
