Hi everyone,

Could anyone please tell me how to solve this problem?

When I run this PHP script below.
----------------------------
<?php //line 1
namespace namespacename; //line 2
?>
----------------------------

I received:
---------------------
Fatal error: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement in the script.

--------------------

My settings:
XAMPP Windows 1.7.3, XP Pro sp3, the other PHP installation (ver 5.3.1) installed, iis stopped.

Thank you for your help and time.

Steve

Your Code works just fine on my XAMPP.

Do you save your file with Byte Order Mark?
You had to save it without BOM.
