Multiple Inheritance Workaround?

[egervari]

Is there a way to emulate multiple inheritance with php? I have an OO framework that really depends on it in order for it to be easily maintainable.

About as close as you will get is to instaniate a class object within a class, then provide functions that will interact with the instaniated object. Or, create intermediate classes.

class2 inherits form class1.

class3 inherits from class2, ect. The end result is class3 inherited form both
class1 and class2.

You end up with a few more classes, but it tends to serve the purpose in most cases.

I can't do that since I already have a inheritance structure that is quite complex.. that will totally increase the amount of work needed.

Hi Ken,
Did you get a solution for this issue. From what i grasped there is not way of using multiple inheritance in php and neither is there a work around.

I believe we need to look at oo support in php in a much stricter sense than is available.
