Just a quick note to make things more clear : while multiple inheritance is not allowed, several levels of single inheritance ARE ALLOWED indeed. Just test this example : <? class A { var $name='A'; function disp() { echo $this->name; } } class B extends A { var $name='B'; } class C extends B { var $name='C'; } $truc = new C() ; $truc->disp(); // Will output C ?> This is especially important to keep in mind while building a huge object hierarchy. for example : +GenericObject ->+ Person ->->Employee ->+Computer ->->+WorkStation ->->-> PPC ->->-> Intel ->->+Server ->->->LDAPServer ->->->IntranetWebServer .. and so on. Multiple level hierarchy relationship are possible in a tree-like structure (each child has one and only one parent, except for the root object). --was-- US/UK Version: Just a quick note to make things more clear : while multiple inheritance is not allowed, several levels of single inheritance ARE ALLOWED indeed.

Regardez pour l'exemple le code suivant : <? class A { var $name='A'; function disp() { echo $this->name; } } class B extends A { var $name='B'; } class C extends B { var $name='C'; } $truc = new C() ; $truc->disp(); // Affichera C ?> C'est particulièrement important quand on souhaite construire une importante hiérarchie d'objets, comme par exemple : +ObjetGenerique ->+ Personne ->->Employe ->+Ordinateur ->->+StationDeTravail ->->-> PPC ->->-> Intel ->->+Serveur ->->->ServeurLDAP ->->->ServerWebIntranet .. et ainsi de suite. la hiérarchie sur plusieurs niveaux est tout à fait possible, comme dans une arborescence (un et un seul parent pour chaque enfant sauf l'élément racine). http://www.php.net/manual/en/keyword.extends.php
