In this article, you will learn how to select the trait method to execute in PHP. The insteadof keyword in PHP allows you to select from which trait a method should be taken if more than one trait has a method with the same name.
examples of the INSTEADOF function
Example 1. In this example, we use insteadof to choose methods from different traits.
<?php
trait message1 {
public function msgA() {
echo "My favorite color is red. ";
}
public function msgB() {
echo "My favorite number is 5. ";
}
}
trait message2 {
public function msgA() {
echo "My favorite color is blue. ";
}
public function msgB() {
echo "My favorite number is 7. ";
}
}
class MyClass {
use message1, message2 {
message1::msgA insteadof message2;
message2::msgB insteadof message1;
}
}
$obj = new MyClass();
$obj->msgA();
$obj->msgB();
?>
