How to use another Namespace required by PHP extension?

Hello I'd like to use a PHP extension called Gender: https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.gender.php but it required a Custom namespace

namespace Gender;

So I can't use it because of Laravel controller namespace

namespace App\Http\Controllers

So what is the best solution ?

You can import stuff from any namespace. Just ignore the example in the docs

use Gender\Gender;

//inside your controller method
$name = "Milene";
$country = Gender::FRANCE;
 
$result = $gender->get($name, $country);

$data = $gender->country($country);
