Unreferenced Class names

[wijnandus]

From manual page: https://php.net/language.namespaces.importing

---The examples shown do not work unless the php file that contains the references is 'required' is also loaded. Why is there no mention of this? Just running the examples always gives me "Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'My\Own\Classname' not found in..... on line nnn

Maybe we should explicitly state that these examples are for understanding purposes only, and not actually meant to be executed. Perhaps we should even mark them ("machine readable"), considering that at some point in the future we may want to add the possibility to actually run examples from the online manual.

Dear Mr Becker, Thank you or your prompt reply. But I have still one doubt. Since there is no line in the example program that 'requires' a certain php file to be included, I thought that perhaps this may require certain settings in the php configuration file to always preload a number of files that contain class definitions, and that that was the reason for this not showing up in the example. The problem is that my AI copilot in Edge at first also thought that it was not necessary to include 'require' statements, because it probably get its wisdom from these php manuals Anyway, thanks again for your prompt reply Regards, Wijnand Beke From: "Christoph M.
