Fixing Mediawiki 1.6 when upgrading PHP from 5.2 to 5.3

The FreeBSD's port php5 was updated from 5.2.12 to 5.3.2 on Apr 9 2010. It will get a syntax error when running Mediawiki 1.6 in PHP 5.3:

syntax error, unexpected T_NAMESPACE, expecting T_STRING in /usr/local/www/wiki/includes/Namespace.php on line 46

This problem was caused by "Namespace", which used as php class name in Mediawiki 1.6, being a reserved keyword since PHP 5.3. To fixing this errer, you must rename Namespace to MWNamespace.

• Note: The Midiawiki already renamed Namespace to MWNamespace since branch 1.13.

HOW TO

Rename class

Open /includes/Namespace.php

Find: (Line 46)

class Namespace {

Replace with:

class MWNamespace {
