Example #1 class_uses() example

<?php

trait foo { }
class bar {
  use foo;
}

print_r(class_uses(new bar));

print_r(class_uses('bar'));

function __autoload($class_name) {
   require_once $class_name . '.php';
}

// use __autoload to load the 'not_loaded' class
print_r(class_uses('not_loaded', true));

?>

    [foo] => foo
