From: Operating system: Debian PHP version: 5.3.10 Package: SPL related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:class_alias cannot create alias for standard class
Description: ------------ Function class_alias cannot create alias for standard classes. I'm using standard exceptions inspired by Java API for very long time. My exceptions was used earlier than exceptions introduced by SPL. I'd like to use SPL's exceptions instead of my exceptions in case they are defined, but I don't want to edit all codes to change exception names used. Therefor I'd like to use class_alias to act SPL exceptions as exceptions expected by applications. Test script: --------------- <?php class_alias('InvalidArgumentException', 'IllegalArgumentException'); // Application throw new IllegalArgumentException('Arg must be abcd') Expected result: ---------------- thrown IllegalArgumentException Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: First argument of class_alias() must be a name of user defined class in aliases.php:17 Fatal error: Class 'IllegalArgumentException' not found in aliases.php on line 28 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61465&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61465&r=mysqlcfg
