PHP namespace calling functions from different directories

Question

I am trying to get php's namespace technique down but having some issues here:

Why can I not call the method testA from class B? Also I would like to add that I am using 5.3.

in lib ->

<?php
namespace lib;

class A{

        public static function testA(){

                  echo "I am inside A";
        }
 }

in root dir ->

<?php

class B{

    public function showSomething(){
               lib\A::testA();
    } 

 $test = new B();
 $test->showSomething();

Using namespace you only encapsulate item but not include it. I can't see including of the class file. Include it or use autoload.

Make sure you're including the file that holds your class A.
