Don't mock the humpbacked, please :).
The correct syntax is Windows-like, to ease the work of the PHP
interpreter:
namespaces\that\look\like\paths
Quote: "Of course, it would be great if PHP used a ‘.’ period for
public methods, static methods, and namespaces. That would make it
consistent with Java, C#, JavaScript, Python and many other languages.
Unfortunately, PHP’s history and backwards compatibility makes that
difficult to achieve."
According to PHP traditions, there are many exceptions in teh usage:
* Nested namespaces aren't allowed.
* Neither functions nor constants can be imported via the use
statement, use statements affects only namespaces and class names.
* You must prepend '\' before global names (global class names,
function names etc.).
* If you want to define a constant in a namespace, you will need to
specify the namespace in your call to define(), but class and function
names inside namespace are automatically prefixed with the namespace
name.
* The namespace declaration statement must be the very first statement
in the file.
According to PHP traditions, there are some performance hits in teh
usage:
* Inside namespaces, calls to unqualified functions are resolved at
run-time.
* Inside namespaces, calls to unqualified or qualified class names
(not _fully_ qualified class names) are resolved at run-time.
* Calls to internal functions in namespaces are slower, because PHP
first looks for such function in the current namespace.
* Calls to static methods are slower, because PHP first tries to look
for corresponding function in namespace.
