Stripe Payments in PHP With Namespaces

I built a PHP application that uses namespaces and PSR-0 autoloading. In trying to implement the Stripe library, I've found that it can't seem to load the classes because they aren't namespaced. Is there a way to not autoload if I have manually included the files?

// Get Stripe Library
require_once(App\App::$APP_PATH . "/Extensions/Stripe.php");

// Set Key
Stripe::setApiKey($stripe['secret_key']);

Setting the key in the example fails with a fatal error because it thinks a Stripe class exists in my namespace of the current file.

I found that if I add a use Stripe; line below my namespace declaration, it will work, but then fails on the next class in the Stripe library.

Am I really going to have to add a Use Stripe, Stripe_Customer, Stripe_xyz...; line to let it load the files correctly (which there are over 25 files) or is there a better way?

[EDIT]

Until I hear whether there is a better way, I've done this:

// Import Non-Namespaced Stripe Library
use Stripe, Stripe_Account, Stripe_ApiConnectionError, Stripe_ApiError, Stripe_ApiRequestor, Stripe_ApiResource, Stripe_AuthenticationError;
use Stripe_Card, Stripe_CardError, Stripe_Charge, Stripe_Coupon, Stripe_Customer, Stripe_Error, Stripe_Event, Stripe_InvalidRequestError;
use Stripe_Invoice, Stripe_InvoiceItem, Stripe_List, Stripe_Object, Stripe_Plan, Stripe_Recipient, Stripe_SingletonApiResource;
use Stripe_Stripe, Stripe_Token, Stripe_Transfer, Stripe_Util;

You can use \ to specify that the class name you're specifying is a fully qualified namespace (FQNS), for example:

<?php
use \Stripe, \Stripe_Account;

$stripe = new Stripe();
$stripe_account = new Stripe_Account();

or without use statements:

<?php
$stripe = new \Stripe();
$stripe_account = new \Stripe_Account();

Using composer is the easiest way (I promise!)

Just install composer and then install stripe. Once you have those installed just browse to your project's folder and run composer install. This will install the needed dependencies and will put composer in a folder called vendor.

Then you simple require the autoload.php file which will load up stripe, without bothering to use a namespace. Here's a full example block that I grabbed from here. 

<?php
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

$stripe = array(
  "secret_key"      => "sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2",
  "publishable_key" => "pk_test_6pRNASCoBOKtIshFeQd4XMUh"
);

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey($stripe['secret_key']);
?>
