If you got a parent class agregating(not inheriting) a number of child classes in an array, you can use the following to allow calling methods of the parent object on agregated child objects: <?php class child { public $holder = null; public function __call($name, $arguments) { if($this->holder instanceof parentClass && method_exists($this->holder, $name)) { return call_user_func_array(array($this->holder, $name), $arguments); } else { trigger_error(); } } } class parentClass { private $children = array(); function __construct() { $this->children[0] = new child(); $this->children[0]->holder = $this; } function getChild($number) { if(!isset($this->children[$number])) { return false; } return $this->children[$number]; } function test() { return 'it works'; } } $parent = new parentClass(); $firstChild = $parent->getChild(0); echo $firstChild->test(); //should output 'it works' ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 87.79.53.172 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88949 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88949/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88949/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88949/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88949/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88949/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88949/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88949 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88949 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
