How can the PSR-0 standard and Composer's autoloader help with resolving issues related to class_exists() and namespaces in PHP?

When using namespaces in PHP, the class_exists() function may not work as expected if the namespaces are not properly autoloaded. To resolve this issue, you can follow the PSR-0 standard for autoloading classes and use Composer's autoloader to automatically load classes based on their namespace. 

// Autoload classes using Composer's autoloader
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Check if a class exists within a namespace
if (class_exists('Namespace\ClassName')) {
    // Class exists, do something
} else {
    // Class does not exist
}
