Hello at all,
ok my problem in a nutshell: i need multiple inheritance! is there a
solution to fake this functionallity in php5?

i have the following problem:
the goal is to implement my own DomXML implementation based on the existing
DomNode, DomDocument, Dom... Classes.

thus, i implement my classes as follows:

class MyNode extends DomNode {}                 // that isn't the problem
class MyDocument extends DomDocument {}         // would be fine, but...

this would be an easy solution,  but there is a logical problem:
if i extend the DomNode (with the methods in MyNode) then -i think-
MyDocument should have those extended methods, too.
so i could write:

class MyDocument extends MyNode {}              // problem

but now i'm missing all the nice methods of DomDocument!!
multiple inheritance would solve this problem:

class MyDocument extends MyNode,DomDocument {}  // not possible

by the way: i will get into trouble with all Dom-Classes:
class MyElement extends MyNode,DomElement {}
class MyAttribute ...

Hope you'll understand me?
Is there a way to solve this problem?
I'm thinking about the new __call() method implemented as follows:

class MyDocument extends MyNode {
        function __call($method, $params) {     // fake solution
                ...
                eval("DomDocument::$method($paramsString);");
        }
}

but with a fake solution like this i wouldn't get all methods with
get_class_methods() and that wouldn't be that nice:)

Can Interfaces help me?

Thanks for your efforts..

vivi
