Unable to load namespaced class in PHP 5.3.27

Question

I have an issue where I seem to be unable to load a namespace that I have created. I have read a bit about namespaces on SO, but I can't see what I am missing in this case.

This is my calling code:

<?php

use \CRMPicco\User\AlertReminder;
$alert_reminder = new AlertReminder($userObj);

?>

This is my namespaced code:

<?php
namespace CRMPicco\User;

class AlertReminder
{

}

This is my error:

Fatal error: Class 'CRMPicco\User\AlertReminder' not found in /var/www/vhosts/dev/web/login.inc.php on line 324

Line 324 is the new AlertReminder line.

Answer 1

This was due to some classname cleansing in my custom autoloader, which prevented the class from loading.

I refactored the class into another package and it now works as expected.
