Small methods make your code easier to understand, in particular if combined with a good name. Besides, if your method is small, finding a good name is usually much easier.
For example, if you find yourself adding comments to a method's body, this is usually a good sign to extract the commented part to a new method, and use the comment as a starting point when coming up with a good name for this new method.
Commonly applied refactorings include:
If many parameters/temporary variables are present:

Let’s assume that you have a directory layout like this:
. |-- OtherDir | |-- Bar.php | `-- Foo.php `-- SomeDir `-- Foo.phpand let’s assume the following content of
Bar.php:If both files
OtherDir/Foo.phpandSomeDir/Foo.phpare loaded in the same runtime, you will see a PHP error such as the following:PHP Fatal error: Cannot use SomeDir\Foo as Foo because the name is already in use in OtherDir/Foo.phpHowever, as
OtherDir/Foo.phpdoes not necessarily have to be loaded and the error is only triggered if it is loaded beforeOtherDir/Bar.php, this problem might go unnoticed for a while. In order to prevent this error from surfacing, you must import the namespace with a different alias:
