I am working on a php sdk rewrite project and the client wants to get PSR standards done. I am looking at the standards page here
https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md
One thing what i am not able to understand, if i use name spaces in my class do i still need to use include or require or use. I mean the whole reason of autoload beats the purpose right ?
For example, say i have a class this way,
namespace Employee\Department;
Class Department
{
//code
}
and i have another class which uses this class by extending it,
namespace Employee\community;
Class Community extends Department
{
//code
}
so does the above code make it to psr-0 standard considering that i have an autoload function exactly thats on the link above.
The second example is going to assume Department is in the Community namespace so in this case you would need a use statement. Also both of your examples would use the namespace Employee not Employee\Whatever. For example, let's assume the following layout:
Employee/
Community.php
Community/
Manager.php
Department.php
Department/
Manager.php
Then we would see the class/namespaces like the following
namespace Employee;
class Department {
}
///////////
namespace Employee;
class Community extends Department {
}
/////////////
namespace Employee\Department;
class Manager {
}
/////////////
namespace Employee\Community;
use Employee\Department\Manager as BaseManager;
Class Manager extends BaseManager {
}
