Hi Sam,
When we designed PHP 5 we intentionally went down the Java-like route of
multiple interfaces and single inheritance. This was a major design
decision and not something we want to change. From the languages which
do support it like C++ you can see how many problems it creates and the
workarounds the language needs to support, hence why Java went down a
different route.
The features you should be looking at are interfaces, single
inheritance, and __call(). If there are special needs you have which
require some additional functionality you may want to look at building
some proxy class in C as a PHP extension but I have yet to see many
situations where that's really needed.
