syntax error, unexpected namespaced name “%s”, expecting “function”

Description

A namespaced name is an identifier with at least one backslash. The body of a class, enumeration, trait or interface does not use any namespaces, as it declares methods, constants and proeprties. There may be namespaced names in a use declaration, but such expression starts with a keyword.

Example

<?php

class X {

A\B;

C\D($e);

}

?>

Solutions

• Add the use keyword before the name to import a trait.

• Add the function keyword before the name to make it a method, although there should not be any \ in the method name.

• Add the const keyword before the name to make it a constant, although there should not be any \ in the constant name.

• Add the #[ keyword before the name to make it an attribute.
