'Use' namespace doesn't do anything - PHP

Question

So i've got the following code, but for some reason the use statement doesn't seem to do anything.

class Image {
    use \App\Traits\File;

    public static function get()
    {
         $image_url = File::getVersion()
    }
}

Throws an error Uncaught Error: Class 'File' not found. But it works if I change it to $image_url = \App\Traits\File::getVersion().

Does anyone know why?

Instead of that I would have created Traits directory in Http folder. Inside that I created file File. in class,

use App\Http\Traits\File;
class Image {
    use File;
    public static function get()
    {
         $image_url = File::getVersion()
    }
}

Above this should be the proper syntax to use namespace and trait.

Thanks I moved the `use` statement outside the class and that worked. Could you explain the reasoning for the `Http` folder though? – KeironLowe Jul 27 '19 at 11:07
I can say it's a laravel default folder structure. – Rahul Jul 27 '19 at 11:09
Anyway you got your solution. I able to give you answer comparing with laravel. :) – Rahul Jul 27 '19 at 11:11
