1.2.1347. Use With Fully Qualified Name¶
Use statement doesn’t require a fully qualified name.
PHP manual recommends not to use fully qualified name (starting with ) when using the ‘use’ statement : they are “the leading backslash is unnecessary and not recommended, as import names must be fully qualified, and are not processed relative to the current namespace”.
<?php
// Recommended way to write a use statement.
use A\B\C\D as E;
// No need to use the initial \
use \A\B\C\D as F;
?>
1.2.1347.1. Suggestions¶
Remove the initial in use expressions.
