1.2.722. Multiple Alias Definitions¶
Some aliases are representing different classes across the repository. This leads to potential confusion.
Across an application, it is recommended to use the same namespace for one alias. Failing to do this lead to the same keyword to represent different values in different files, with different behavior. Those are hard to find bugs.
<?php
namespace A {
use d\d; // aka D
}
// Those are usually in different files, rather than just different namespaces.
namespace B {
use b\c as D; // also D. This could be named something else
}
?>
1.2.722.1. Suggestions¶
Give more specific names to classes
Use an alias ‘use AB ac BC’ to give locally another name
