PHP multiple inheritance

[keenlearner]

Hello, I really need to use multiple inheritance, but it's not supported in PHP, is there a way to mimic the concept of multiple inheritance ? Thank you

It depends on why you (think you) need multiple inheritance, but it may be that implementing multiple interfaces instead will work.

There is also a technique known as mixins. Google for it.

If an object needs to represent itself as mutliple types (outside of its inheritance chain), then interfaces will probably be needed. If, on the other hand, the issue is incorporating the functionality of multiple classes, then composition may be the answer. And there's a good chance the final answer may incorporate both.
