when will php support alias name?

[Yarco]

When using c++, we could do:
using abc = xxx.yyy; // am i right?

When using python we could do:
import abc.efg as efg

When will php support:

class My_Best_Class
{
}
define('MyClass ', 'My_Best_Class' );
$o = new MyClass; // use MyClass as aliasname of My_Best_Class?

It is very useful to me.
Or do you have any good ideas to do such name alias?

It sounds like you want the ability to change which class you use for
something by just changing it in one place. So, you might have
something like this:

define('Databas eConnection', 'MySQLDatabaseC onnection');

which could then later be easily changed to:

define('Databas eConnection', 'OracleDatabase Connection');

Without modifying the rest of your code. Is that what you're trying
to achieve? If so you should use the factory pattern:

class DatabaseConnect ion {

public static function factory() {
return new MySQLDatabaseCo nnection();
}
}

class MySQLDatabaseCo nnection extends DatabaseConnect ion {

....

}

etc.

Never, I hope. If you cannot even trust your identifiers, all hope of
maintaining code is gone forever.

Especially the example is stunning. This has nothing to do with object
orientation. If you do this the object-oriented way, you can use
factories, interfaces and subclasses.
Off course, a factory is a method (or a function), so you can SEE that
it is defined elsewhere. And you can even pass it parameters.
