Folks: I've been coding in PHP for almost two decades, but I've never used namespaces in my code. Please verify or correct my understanding of how namespaces work with include() or require(). In order for a namespace declared at the top of a file to actually be of any use, the code file which defines the namespace originally must be included somewhere in a file before the namespace declare. That is, file1.php: <?php namespace \something // some code which is used in other files file2.php: <?php namespace \something // the code which uses the namespaced code file3.php: <?php include 'file1.php'; // include this before using the namespace code elsewhere In other words, the fact of declaring a namespace does not pull in that code from elsewhere. You must do an include() or require() somewhere in order to actually use the namespaced code. I know, this sounds like a really dumb newbie question. Mea culpa. Paul -- Paul M.
