Collection namespace too common

[dortheimer]

Complex project have many dependancies, so the class name "Collection" might collide with other classes. This is an example error message: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Collection in /project/vendor/phayes/geophp/lib/geometry/Collection.class.php on line 293 This issue can be fixed in two ways:

1. Using a certain namespace for the library.
2. Prefixing the classes.

This library needs some PSR-* :)

Experiencing this issue integrating into another codebase. Working on implementing a new namespace for the project.

Hi,

What is the status for supporting at least PSR-0? This awesome lib seems unusable in modern projects without a proper namespacing.

Thanks!

Was anyone able to use this inside Laravel?

@jadjoubran We have just wrapped this in a simple package for laravel...

https://github.com/spinen/laravel-geometry

It is not done yet as we are going to wrap the adapters & geometries in namespaces classes, but it is a start. Hopefully it will be a little help to you...

@jimmypuckett wow awesome! Thanks

puts contributor hat on

+1 Was seriously looking at using this library until I found, to my surprise, it didn't use namespaces. Hopefully this can come in a future release.

Several forks of this repo use namespaces (including mine). I tried to contact the author if its worth preparing the PR, but with no response.
