Then, where is expected functions?
is_alias()
get_alias_name()
or reflection method?
in fact we cant get alias name, aliasing is useless.

This is an expected behaviour. An alias allows to refer to a class entry
using different name but it's the same class entry.

Hmm, in fact the alias is created by reusing the original class entry.
I.e. no copy is done, it just add a new entry to the class table using
the alias name pointing to the original one.
class a { }
class_alias('a', 'b');
ReflectionClass::export('b');
/*
Class [ <user> class a ] {
...
}
*/
Dmitry, are actually the aliases supposed to behave in this way?
(needing to be explained in the documentation wether it is right as is)

Description:
------------
Cant create alias to class in different namespace.
Created object (alias instance) return type of base class,
not alias.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
namespace tf\users {}
namespace tf\core {
class collection {
private $_cl;
function __construct() { $this->_cl = get_class($this); }
function get_cl() { return $this->_cl; }
}
class core {
private $_cl;
function register($name) {
$from = 'tf\\core\\collection';
$to = 'tf\\users\\' . $name;
printf ("aliasing %s --> %s : %s <br/> \n", $from, $to,
class_alias($from, $to)?'OK':'FAIl');
$a = new $to ();
$this->_cl = get_class($a);
return $a;
}
function get_cl() { return $this->_cl; }
}
}
namespace {
use tf\core\core;
$core = new core();
$test = $core->register('test');
printf("core: %s, result: %s, get_class: %s <br/>\n",
$core->get_cl(), $test->get_cl(), get_class($test));
}
Expected result:
----------------
tf\users\test
Actual result:
--------------
aliasing tf\core\collection --> tf\users\test : OK
core: tf\core\collection, result: tf\core\collection, get_class:
tf\core\collection
