1.2.805. No Class In Global¶

Avoid defining structures in Global namespace. Always prefer using a namespace. This will come handy later, either when publishing the code, or when importing a library, or even if PHP reclaims that name.

<?php

// Code prepared for later
namespace Foo {
    class Bar {}
}

// Code that may conflict with other names.
namespace {
    class Bar {}
}

?>
