PHPs Namespace Separator

Perlsphere: PHPs Namespace Separator

Many of you have already heard the PHP news. The rest of you may have
wondered what that strange sound was. That was the sound of tens of
thousands of developer’s jaws dropping all at once. You see, PHP is
getting namespaces and the delimiter is the backslash. Yup. The
backslash: ‘\’ (minus the quotes, obviously).

Apparently they were all set to go with the double-colon ‘::’ separator
when someone pointed out that this is what they use to call a static
class function in PHP:

BloodyToys::giggle();

Uh oh. Now what do you do? Is “BloodyToys” a class or a namespace? In the
Perl world, this might seem like a non-issue because unlike many other
languages, we don’t make a distinction between classes or namespaces. PHP
does and this makes parsing problematic. I suppose that PHP could have
simply died at compile-time if they found an ambiguous declaration (e.g.,
a giggle function defined in both a BloodyToys namespace and a BloodyToys
class), but the developers decided not to do this and frankly, I have no
idea why.

For more on this, I one PHP developer’s comments on the new namespace
decision. It will be interesting to see what comes of this.
