Description:
------------
I'm running XAMPP on Win7 with PHP 5.3.5 (don't know whether I got that one above selected right...)

I tried importing a namespace and instantiating a class in there in another namespace, but it seemed not to have worked.

---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.namespaces.importing
---


Test script:
---------------
<?php
namespace NamespaceOne
{
	class OutOfBoundsException extends \OutOfBoundsException
	{
	
	}
}
namespace NamespaceTwo
{
	use NamespaceOne;

	throw new OutOfBoundsException;
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'NamespaceOne\OutOfBoundsException' 

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Class 'NamespaceTwo\OutOfBoundsException' not found in ...

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Please re-read the import section. You might  need something like "use NamespaceOne\OutOfBoundsException;"

I was under the impression that all items of that imported namespace are available unqualified in the new one. But now i see, you still have to qualify it with its imported name...
Shoulf have been pointed out more clearly in the docs!

Anyway, why don't you implement this. Importing all items of a particular namespace?!
