use \Model_Name; // class names are ucfirst() ! use \Model\Name; // namespaces require backslashes !
Many thanks for taking the time to reply, your solution was very useful.. Further testing has shown these results where it is not essential to extend the Model Class. I am still undecided the best method to adopt but it is always good to have a choice.Harro Verton wrote on Tuesday 26th of June 2012:An application model class like app/classes/model/name.php either lives in the global namespace and is called "Model_name", or lives in the "\Model" namespace and is called "name". You either access it using \Model_Name (case one) or \Model\Name (case two). So it'suse \Model_Name; // class names are ucfirst() ! use \Model\Name; // namespaces require backslashes !
