How to fake multiple inheritance in php use the magic function call

class B {
    public function method_from_b($s) {
        echo $s;
    }
}

class C {
    public function method_from_c($s) {
        echo $s;
    }
}

class A extends B
{
  private $c;
    
  public function __construct()
  {
    $this->c = new C;
  }
    
  // fake "extends C" using magic function
  public function __call($method, $args)
  {
    $this->c->$method($args[0]);
  }
}


$a = new A;
$a->method_from_b("abc");
$a->method_from_c("def");

Prints “abcdef”

Also, from php 5.4 onwards you can use trait

trait business{
  function sell(){

  }

  function buy(){

  }

  function collectMoney(){
  }

}

trait human{

   function think(){

   }

   function speak(){

   }

}

class BusinessPerson{
  use business;
  use human;
  // If you have more traits bring more
}


class BusinessWoman extends BusinessPerson{

   function getPregnant(){

   }

}


$bw = new BusinessWoman();
$bw ->speak();
$bw->getPregnant();
