The PHP folks have finally announced that PHP will get namespacing in the form of ‘\‘. The universal escape character. They really should have went with the standard ‘::‘ or ‘:::‘. Using ‘\‘ is going to work well.

This is the 2nd blog article I have seen on PHP Namespace today. PHP is a little different however it is good for what is does.
