How can namespaces or other methods be utilized to prevent function redeclaration conflicts when integrating different PHP scripts for website and forum functionalities?

To prevent function redeclaration conflicts when integrating different PHP scripts for website and forum functionalities, namespaces can be used to encapsulate functions and classes within a specific scope. By defining unique namespaces for each set of functionalities, functions with the same name can coexist without conflicts.

// Define a namespace for website functionalities
namespace Website {
    function myFunction() {
        // Website function implementation
    }
}

// Define a namespace for forum functionalities
namespace Forum {
    function myFunction() {
        // Forum function implementation
    }
}

// Call functions from their respective namespaces
Website\myFunction();
Forum\myFunction();
