Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Class/Object related
Operating System: mdk 9.2 and win xp
PHP Version: 5.0.0RC1
New Comment:
One method would be to use class overloading via the __call method to
dispatch certain methods to other classes via a static call (the value
of $this will propagate into the target class).
class one {
function foo() {
echo "Foo";
}
function __call($fname) {
switch ($fname) {
case 'bar':
two::bar();
break;
default:
trigger_error("Unknown method one::$fname()", E_USER_ERROR);
break;
}
}
}
class two {
function bar() {
echo "bar";
}
}
Which, of course, can be massaged to make it a bit prettier/cleaner,
but that's the concept.
You might try taking a look at http://pecl.php.net/classkit but bearing
in mind that this extension is still experimental.
The function you'd be most interrested in is classkit_import()
(documentation not built yet, but you can read the doc sources at:
http://cvs.php.net/co.php/phpdoc/en/reference/classkit/functions/classkit-import.xml
)

It is due to this that we will not be able to migrate to PHP5.
We require multiple inheritance that the aggregate function provided.

Yes, I'm also curious as to what the best alternative is for
aggregation. What are these other mechanisms?

In that case, what are we supposed to use? What do Zend recommend as
the best alternative to aggregate? I use aggregate extensively in my
code, and I was suprised that it is not part of PHP5. This does not
seem to have been mentioned in the documentation - rather, it seems to
imply that aggregate functions were added for forwarf-compatibility
with PHP5.
So please, enlighten us, what do you recommend we do instead?

PHP 5 no longer supports object aggregation, there are plenty of other
mechanisms to use.
