ID: 61928 Updated by: maar...@php.net Reported by: olav at fwt dot no Summary: Instanciate object for aliased class -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Linux 3.3.4 PHP Version: 5.3.12 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This isn't a bug, see Example 3 @ http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.importing.php and the note "Importing is performed at compile-time, and so does not affect dynamic class, function or constant names." So your code is referencing Foo in the root namespace, which is the documented behavior.
