PHP Class inheritance

Hi all,

I am quite new to PHP, so bear with me.

I am learning PHP's OOP stuff. Has PHP 5 introduced multi-level class inheritance? Have you ever been able to have multi-level inheritance in PHP?

I come from a Java background so OOP is central to the way I program, but I want to move to PHP.

Thanks for any replies.

Check out the docs at zend.com. That'll be the offical word on inheritance in PHP5. Seems like there's multi-level inheritance but there's some weird restriction that I can't remember.

Thanks for your reply.

I've checked the zend site, but the only mention of inheritance was on their phorum where someone named Bjørn Danielsen has apparently written a workaround that allows multiple inheritance... to a point, but his site isn't working (aaaargh!). However, his post was written before 5 was released, so I am none the wiser I'm afraid.

[ sob ] I just want to use multiple inheritance... please!! (Pathetic isn't it?!)

It has been my opinion that you can go years or a lifetime writting applications without a REAL need to use multiple-inheritance.

Is this a need or a want for you?

More of a want I suppose. I don't need multiple inheritance that often, but there are times when I have had to use it. I can certainly live without it though. What I can do in PHP is multiple parent classes, which has worked for me, so I guess I can continue to use that.
