PHP Namespace Error

I keep getting an error. Here is some code.

Code:

---

<?php // PSystem.php
namespace PSystem;
?>

---

Yeah, that's all.

Code:

---

<?php // tester.php
include 'PSystem.php';
echo "Works";
?>

---

I keep getting this error.

Code:

---

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\\Server\\Main\\Includes\\PSystem.php on line 2

---

Is this how you are supposed to be loading namespaces, or is this just some weird error?

Try this for PSystem.php

PHP Code:

---

<?php
namespace PSystem {
  const a = 1;
}
?>

Are you sure there isn't an accidental white-space before the PHP declaration? Remember that namespaces must be declared before output within a script.

Also...Have you tried it with actual content in the namespace?

@javajawa You are declaring your namespace as you would a class.

Newer versions of PHP allow for that form of namespace declaration. It's useful for keeping track of where you want namespaces to end (so you can remember to re-open the global namespace, something I always forget otherwise) PHP Manual Entry

Ah, yes peej. I can write

Code:

---

namespace [name]
{

}

---

But, what about...

Code:

---

namespace [name] \ [subspace] \ [subspace]
{

}

---

I don't think that will work, hmm well I gotta try.

You learn something new every day! I haven't worked with namespaces much. Useful little thing to know.

Nope, nothing seems to work.

Does that mean I can't use namespaces, at all? lame.

How would I display my php info? I know there was a function and it would list everything in a complete page.

Oh, wait a second.

It says in phpinfo().

Powered By PHP/5.2.5.

Would that be of any significance?

Namespaces are available in PHP as of PHP 5.3.0.
