I'm trying to rewrite an OO PHP site (that loosely follows an MVC structure) so it uses namespaces - and want to follow PSR-0.
In the current site I have a class (called APP) which is full of static methods that I call all over the place to handle things such as getting config data eg; APP::get_config('key')
.
Obviously with namespacing, I would need to call \TheNameSpace\App::get_config('key')
. I use this class frequently, so want to avoid having to prefix the namespace every time I use it. I do call methods in it from within other classes, which would usually be under a sub-namespace - so changing the namespace at the top of the file won't really work.
So, I guess my question is, what is the easiest way to have a 'global' class with methods that I can call anywhere without having to prefix with the namespace each time?
