1.2.1086. Set class_alias() Definition¶
Links identifiers and nsname to the concrete class, interface, trait and enumeration when class_alias() was used to create the name. The link is
DEFINITION.
class_alias() are detected at loading time, and are used unconditionally.
This means that the fully qualified name of the new call and the instantiated class may be different : without the alias, the fully qualified name is the current value, or its use’s origin, while with class_alias(), it is an arbitrary name.
<?php
class x {
public function foo() {}
}
class_alias('x', 'y');
//y exists, as an alias of x.
$y = new y;
?>
