is there some sort of namespace support in php like in c/c++? problem is i have a class called Template for my website, now im trying to integrate some forums and having issues with a class they have also called Template. I need to use both versions in the same file but cant as i get an error says its already defined.

PHP Namespaces could be included in PHP 6, but that's not going to be ready for a while. So at this moment, no there aren't any. You will probably have to rename the class if you have two with the same name.

The best thing to do to avoid this is to prefix each class name with some identifier just like a namespace would be.

If you are saying, "What? PHP doesn't have namespaces? That sucks!", then you may want to check this out.
