What it actually shows is something different: the insertion of a Trait. This is (now) perfectly valid PHP, it just does something different from what the page is describing. I assume the example was added before we had traits; it should be updated to avoid confusion. Since the preceding paragraph is referring to scope, perhaps the class should be replaced by a function. Test script: --------------- <?php // not a test script, this is example #5 from the manual page namespace Languages; class Greenlandic { use Languages\Danish; ... } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70610&edit=1
