Question

I’m trying to find a way to mass apply these namespaces, as this would be inconvenient to write out. I know I can simply do, use jream\ as j but I would like to see if it’s possible to avoid the backslash.

require '../jream/Autoload.php';

use jream\Autoload as Autoload,
    jream\Database as Database,
    jream\Exception as Exception,
    jream\Form as Form,
    jream\Hash as Hash,
    jream\Output as Output,
    jream\Registry as Registry,
    jream\Session as Session;

new Autoload('../jream');

Isn’t there a way to say something along these lines: jream\\* as *; ?

Any tips would be appreciated 🙂

At the very least you can skip all the redundant as aliasing:

use jream\Autoload,
    jream\Database,
    jream\Exception,
    jream\Form,
    jream\Hash,
    jream\Output,
    jream\Registry,
    jream\Session;

If you want to use everything in the namespace without typing it out one by one, then indeed the only real choice is to alias the namespace as a whole and use a backslash:

use jream as j;

new j\Autoload;
