Hello Richard,
I'd like to make a database wrapping class (yet another one,
aha!) as flexible, as possible.
So I'd like to make possible to call, for example,
$db->num_rows($result)
and
$db->NumRows($result)
And was just wondering :-).

Whilst you can do class_alias() - something I use to hide the long
class name for soap services - there isn't a function alias.
But, if you are creating your own functions, then you could use a
closure and that can be assigned to a variable ...
$fn_FooBar = function() { ... };
$fn_FooBar($a, $b, $c);
or
someFunc($fn_FooBar) { ... }
Closures are ideal for callbacks.
Why do you want to alias functions? Is it to obscure the existing name?
If so, take a look at using an encoder. This uses the compiled code
rather than the source to run.
It is faster to run as there is no compile phase and the "code" isn't
very easy to reverse.
