php - Fatal error: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement in the script

Question

I get an error when I load the signing script. The error is as followed:

Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement in the script in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/lphoto/cms/php/class/db.php on line 1

I use the following scripts / pages

signin.php

<?php namespace scripts;
 // get the auth class and the db settings
require_once("class/auth.php");

use scriptsauthauth as authClass;

auth.php

<?php namespace scriptsauth;

require_once 'db.php';

//use scriptsdbdb as Database;

class auth extends Database

db.php

<?php namespace scriptsdb;

require_once  'db_conf.php';

use scriptsdbdb_config as conf;

db_conf.php

<?php 

namespace scriptsdb;

I don't know where the problem is. Hope any of you know how to fix it. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Check for whitespaces between the php tag and the namespace. Maybee these white space is not shown in your editor.
