1.2.686. Methods That Should Not Be Used

These methods and functions only throw an exception, or raise an error. As such, they are a warning that such function or method shouldn’t be used.

Those functions could also be marked as deprecated, with an attribute or a phpdoc. This is not taken into account by this analysis.

<?php

function obsoleteFoo() {
    throw new exception('Don\'t use obsoleteFoo() but rather the new version of foo().');
}
?>
