1.2.22. Aliases

This rule lists all aliases. Aliases are used file by file, although some classes may have different aliases depending on the context.

<?php

// This is an alias
use stdClass as aClass;

// This is not an alias : it is not explicit
use stdClass;

trait t {
    // This is not an alias, it's a trait usage
    use otherTrait;
}

?>
