So, PHP 5.3’s been out for a while now so it’s about time I start getting to grips with some of the new features it introduces.

The first of the features I’m looking at are namespaces, which help separate your classes without the need for very_long_class_names while avoiding class name conflicts. Plus, as the next generation of PHP frameworks are switching to 5.3 and make heavy use of namespaces, it seems like a good place to start.

If anyone has a good guide then please feel free to leave it in the comments.
