namespaces can be used to help you organize your classes. More importantly, namespaces help programmers aviod name clashes and stupidly long class names (if we were to prefix class names to stop clashing) like this:

Zend_Search_Lucene_Analysis_Analyzer_Common_Text_C aseInsensitive

from what i have been reading, php's namespaces will look like this:

PHP Code:


			

namespace Sketch::DB;

class mysql
{
    //class gubbings
    public function connect()
    {
        echo 'hellllllloooooooooo';
    }
}


//to use:

use Sketch::DB::mysql();

//or to make an alias (in this case DBConn):

use Sketch::DB::mysql() as DBConn;

//or just
 
use Sketch::DB
//(its the same as doing use Sketch::DB as DB, but in simple form)



//so you can invoke in he following ways for each of the methods listed above:

$pDb = new Sketch::DB::mysql();
//or
$pDb = new DBConn(); 
//or
$pDb = new DB::mysql();
