In PHP, a namespace
is a way to group related classes, functions, and constants under a single identifier.
Namespaces are used to avoid naming conflicts between different classes, functions, and constants and make organizing and managing your code easier. Just as a file with the same name can exist in two separate folders, a class of a specific name can be defined in two namespaces.
The use of namespaces becomes crucial as the project grows. Giving a unique name to each class or function may become tedious and not exactly elegant, and that's when namespaces come in handy.
A namespace is defined using the namespace
keyword, followed by the name of the namespace.
– For example:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
class PostsController {
//
}
?>
