You need to tell PHP to look in the root namespace, e.g.:

    $test = new \XapianWritableDatabase('searchdb');

Another option is to import the things you want with `use` and then
you can just use `XapianWritableDatabase` without to prefix it with
`\`.  To do that add this after your `namespace literallyanynamespace;`
line:

    use \XapianWritableDatabase;
