PHP namespace not recognized in DW

Question

Dreamweaver CS5 says that i have an error in my code when i write "namespace" eventhough it's correctly written according to php manual. Is there a workaround for this? Am I able to define my own language constructs in DW?

Dreamweaver CS5's PHP support is based on PHP 5.2. That's why it doesn't recognize the use of namespace. AFAIK, there's nothing you can do about it, apart from submitting a feature request (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform) to upgrade support to PHP 5.3.

Although PHP 5.3 was released at the end of June last year, it was still only in development when work started on integrating the syntax checker and other PHP enhancements into Dreamweaver CS5. As I understand from my contacts in the Dreamweaver engineering team, waiting for PHP 5.3 to be finalized would have resulted in having to drop many of the planned features. So, a decision was made to go with the stable 5.2 release.
