#22749 [NEW]: Classes outside of namespaces cannot be called.

From:             eric at evilwalrus dot com
Operating system: Windows XP
PHP version:      5CVS-2003-03-17 (dev)
PHP Bug Type:     Zend Engine 2 problem
Bug description:  Classes outside of namespaces cannot be called.

If I have the following script, the class that is defined before the
namespace cannot be called from within a class in the namespace.

<?php
class TestClass2
{
    function __construct()
    {
        print "TestClass2\n";
    }
}

namespace Test
{
    function newClass () {
        $new = new TestClass();
        $new->newClass();
    }
    
    class TestClass
    {
        function __construct()
        {
            print "TestClass\n";
        }
        
        function newClass ()
        {
            $new = new TestClass2();
        }
    }
}

Test::newClass();
//$new = new TestClass2();
?>

This example will show the error "Fatal error: Class 'testclass2' not
found in c:\usr\test.php on line 26" I'm assuming that this is done by
design... but I would think that PHP would look for the class outside of
the namespace since it is defined before the namespace. If you use the
commented out line $new = new TestClass2; instead of the Test::newClass();
then it works properly, and the TestClass2 construct is called.

As I said, I think this is done by design and isn't a bug... but I thought
I would submit it because I'm not for sure. Any explination though would
be very helpful to me. Thanks.
