Hi Andrew, I am not a core maintainer, but I think that things are looking very good for namespaces in 5.3. There is one issue that has not been fully resolved that Derick raised (how to resolve import into global scope conflicting with internal names), but there are a few real solutions on the table. Things are getting awfully close to holidays, so don't expect any definitive answers from people any time soon. The best thing people can do now is try to break the current namespace implementation, so we can find issues and either provide patches or at least report them so that the feature can stabilize. (Which reminds me, functions don't quite work in namespaces yet, bug reports need to be opened :) Greg -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
