ï»=BFIs it possible to create a global namespace alias in PHP or =
does the alias have to be defined in EVERY file that I use? Here is an =
example:

file: main.php
use \this\is\my\custom\namespace\Item as nsItem;
?>


file: index.php
require_once â€=9Cmain.phpâ€=9D;

// Attempt to use namespace alias defined in main.php file
nsItem::test();

The above code doesnâ€=99t work for me. The namespace alias defined =
in the main.php file isnâ€=99t accessible in the index.php file. Is =
there a way to make the â€=9CnsItemâ€=9D alias a =
â€=9Cglobalâ€=9D one, so that I donâ€=99t have to define it =
in EVERY file that I want to use?

I'm assuming there is no way to make a global alias. Can anyone
confirm/deny this?

The above code doesn’t work for me. The namespace alias defined in the
main.php file isn’t accessible in the index.php file. Is there a way to
make the “nsItem” alias a “global” one, so that I don’t have to define it in
EVERY file that I want to use?

I reread the documentation on namespaces, and from what I can tell this is
no way to do it. Each file maintains its own active namespace *at compile
time*. This means you can't even get around it with eval() or including
another script to set it.

I can't say I'm positive someone won't find a way around it, but short of an
extension I don't see one.
