How do I use PHP namespaces with autoload?

I get this error when I try to use autoload and namespaces:

Fatal error: Class 'Class1' not found in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/public/php5.3/test.php on line 10

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Here is my code:

Class1.php:

<?php

namespace Person\Barnes\David
{
    class Class1
    {
        public function __construct()
        {
            echo __CLASS__;
        }
    }
}

?>

test.php:

<?php

function __autoload($class)
{
    require $class . '.php';
}

use Person\Barnes\David;

$class = new Class1();

?>
autoload php

I use this simple hack in one line:

spl_autoload_register(function($name){
        require_once 'lib/'.str_replace('\\','/',$name).'.php';
    });

You’ll want to put your class files into a folder named Classes, which is in the same directory as the entry point into your PHP application. If classes use namespaces, the namespaces will be converted into the directory structure.

Unlike a lot of other auto-loaders, underscores will not be converted into directory structures (it’s tricky to do PHP < 5.3 pseudo namespaces along with PHP >= 5.3 real namespaces).

<?php
class Autoloader {
    static public function loader($className) {
        $filename = "Classes/" . str_replace("\\", '/', $className) . ".php";
        if (file_exists($filename)) {
            include($filename);
            if (class_exists($className)) {
                return TRUE;
            }
        }
        return FALSE;
    }
}
spl_autoload_register('Autoloader::loader');

You’ll want to place the following code into your main PHP script (entry point):

require_once("Classes/Autoloader.php");

Here’s an example directory layout:

index.php
Classes/
  Autoloader.php
  ClassA.php - class ClassA {}
  ClassB.php - class ClassB {}
  Business/
    ClassC.php - namespace Business; classC {}
    Deeper/
      ClassD.php - namespace Business\Deeper; classD {}

<?php
spl_autoload_register(function ($classname){
   // for security purpose
   //your class name should match the name of your class "file.php"
   $classname = str_replace("..", "", $classname);
   require_once __DIR__.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.("classes/$classname.class.php");
});
try {
  $new = new Class1();
} catch (Exception $e) {
   echo "error = ". $e->getMessage();
}
?>
