Unused Classes
++++++++++++++

  The following classes are never explicitly used in the code.

Note that this may be valid in case the current code is a library or framework, since it defines classes that are used by other (unprovided) codes.
Also, this analyzer may find classes that are, in fact, dynamically loaded.

.. code-block:: php
   
   <?php
   
   class unusedClasss {}
   class usedClass {}
   
   $y = new usedClass();
   
   ?>
