Summary: class_alias() should accept classes with leading
backslashes
Status: Open
Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: Class/Object related
Operating System: Irrelevant
PHP Version: master-Git-2012-04-18 (Git)

New Comment:
Also agree with the fact that the leading backslashes are redundant but the
point
is that class_alias returns a value saying all went fine (bool(true)) when the
alias is not reachable after the call.

I'm not convinced that allowing a leading \ is something we should strive
towards. The \ is unnecessary and redundant (as string names are always fully
qualified). I'd rather allow only the canonical form.

Yep, let's start finding all places where classes as strings can be used, and
patch them all to use zend_lookup_class().
There shouldn't be tons of them AFAIR.

I agree with Johannes about consistency.
The severity is not really is not very high and this use case can easily be
handled at a useland level.
As long as this behavior is not "fixed" I think a warning on the doc shoudl be
enough, even if I'd like to see it fixed (but as I said, it's not a big deal at
the moment).
BTW, thanks for you work Julien :)

Technically we could, but it adds some inconsistency if one place allows this
but others not and that should be avoided.
