I can't seem to get global user function calls to work from namespaces 
in the latest 5.3 snaps. This is on Win XP SP2 using Apache 2.2.8 and 
the php5apache2_2.dll. Example:


global_file.php
---------------
require 'namespace_file.php';
function globalFunc() {
	'Global Called!';
}
TestNS::callGlobalFunc();



namespace_file.php
------------------
namespace TestNS;
function callGlobalFunc() {
	::globalFunc();
}

Tried this code (adding echo before 'Global Called!' so that it would
actually output something) - works just fine.

I noticed that error yesterday when I was testing on another computer. 
It did work on this computer. I'll have to go back today to the first 
computer and do some checking.

Basically, I'm making a system to integrate with forum software, 
including phpBB3. I was trying to call their add_log function from a 
namespace > class > method of mine. It seemed if I called it from the 
global space it worked, but not from the namespace. Not sure what was 
going on but I'll try to do further checking. Is there anything I could 
look at to help troubleshoot this? Thanks

Don't you forget the "echo"?

Dmitry.
