Here is some clarification about PHP inheritance – there is a lot of bad information on the net. PHP does support Multi-level inheritance. (I tested it using version 5.2.9). It does not support multiple inheritance.
This means that you cannot have one class extend 2 other classes (see the extends keyword). However, you can have one class extend another, which extends another, and so on.
Example:
<?php
class A {
// more code here
}
class B extends A {
// more code here
}
class C extends B {
// more code here
}
$someObj = new A(); // no problems
$someOtherObj = new B(); // no problems
$lastObj = new C(); // still no problems
?>
