Configure a namespace but instantiate without it

[Lawrence]

It's possible to configure a namespace for my package but not having to define it when instantiante the object?

eg: I want to create a namespace like MyPackages\MyClass but when I need to instantiate the class I want to write just new MyClass, and not new MyPackages\MyClass.

Reason: I have a class that some people use, and I want to update the class with a namespace to be autoloaded, but I don't want to break the code that is already using the class.

You can move your class to a namespace, and in the class definition file add class_alias('MyPackage\MyClass', 'MyClass');

That's a decent way to provide BC IMO.

See https://www.php.net/class_alias
