C++, Java, C#, Perl, Python, Ruby all have namespaces. Why doesn't PHP need namespaces?

  PHP 5 originally had namespaces, but they were dropped during the beta process.
  
  There are certainly lots of people who would like namespaces in PHP, but that's not a feature that made it into PHP 5.

  PHP clearly lacks a benevolent dictator. Design by committee hardly ever works.
