According to the error, the alias statement somehow becomes equivalent to 'as as bar'. Test script: --------------- <?php trait A { function namespace() {} } class C { use A { namespace as bar; } } Expected result: ---------------- No error. This should be no different than if the method were named 'foo' and then using 'foo as bar'. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: An alias (bar) was defined for method as(), but this method does not exist in /in/DmNne on line 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77966&edit=1
