I am experimenting with using the __call function for pre-action instructions.
The issue I am facing is that the __call function only works once, but I need it to be triggered every time the run() method is called.
When I call $second_child->run() inside the run() method of the first child class, only the __call function of the first child is executed. Any insights into why this happens?
class ParentClass{
protected function run(){}
public function __call($method,$arguments) {
echo "<br/>######Call ". get_called_class()."########<br>";
if(method_exists($this, $method)) {
call_user_func_array(array($this,$method),$arguments);
}
}
}
class first_child extends ParentClass{
protected function run(){
echo "<br>running " . get_called_class();
$x= new second_child;
$x->run();
}
}
class second_child extends ParentClass{
protected function run(){
echo "<br>running " . get_called_class();
}
}
$y= new first_child;
$y->run();
