I have a some class, it include Smarty, but my class use namespace test, Smarty don't use namespaces. How include Smarty, without writing namespaces into smarty files (it has many system plugins) 

    import "smarty/Smarty.php"

    class testik
    {
        public function __construct ()
        {
            $smarty = new Smarty();
        }
    }


<?php

    class Smarty
    {
        //somcode
    }

Smarty has autoloader class and include its plugins, plugins haven't namespaces too.

Tell your namespaced code it's in the global namespace:

$smarty = new \Smarty();

Additionally importing­Docs works this way:

use Smarty;

Then you can use your code as it was:

$smarty = new Smarty();

See as well: How to use “root” namespace of php?.

    Lol, i fought this my namespaces, dirs, autoloader, but forgot about this – TROODON Dec 20 '11 at 11:45
  • Also works when you need to call external static method/variable **inside a namespaced class** e.g. `\Handy::doGeneralStuff();` – jave.web Sep 11 '18 at 21:28
