* Namespaces.
The Zend Engine 1.0 provided only three scopes: the global
scope, the class scope and the function scope. All scopes but
classes could contain variables, only the class and global
scopes could contain functions, while only the global scope
could contain constants and classes. This means that all of the
Zend Engine 1.0's scoping methods were inherently limited for
solving symbol name collision problems.
The Zend Engine 2.0 introduces the concept of namespaces
to solve the symbol collision problem by making it possible to
define multiple symbol tables able to contain all types of
symbols.
A namespace may contain classes, constants, functions and variables.
The member of a namespace is accessed by prefixing its name with the
name of the namespace followed by '::'.
Example:
<?php
namespace Foo {
class Bar {}
const aConstant = 'someValue';
function aFunction() {}
var $aVariable;
}
$o = new Foo::Bar;
echo Foo::aConstant;
Foo::aFunction();
Foo::$aVariable = 'someValue';
?>
A namespace's name may contain colons to denote "sub-namespaces".
This is pure syntactic sugar, the Zend Engine will not see, for
instance, the namespaces "Package", "Package:Subpackage" and
"Package:Subpackage:Subsubpackage" as related.
Namespaces can be neither nested nor instantiated.
To avoid ambiguities in the '::' resolution there may be no
global class and namespace with the same name.
Old code that has no user-defined classes or functions named
'namespace' should run without modifications.
* Unified Constructors.
