how to call multiple classes [lets say modules] for a single job in php

Question

in a CMR project which manages Radius authentications (create user, renew user, delete user, expire time, etc)

I want to create user in multiple accounting servers such as free radius , mikrotik user manager radius etc ... I already developed the API for those accounting servers the thing I can't figure our is that how I should call a method to trigger ie a method called create_user() in all modules (free radius.inc.php , userman.inc.php ) to create a user in all accounting servers.

lets say create_user() method exists on all of them .

I also want to add more accounting server classes to the project later , i don't want to hard code for another accounting support implementation

thanks in advance

I'm not sure if if i understand what you mean but let's give it a try. To abstract your accounting servers you should use an interface.

<?php

interface AccountingServer {

    public function create_user();
}

class Server1 implements AccountingServer {

    public function create_user()
    {
        echo "Create user on server 1";
    }

}


class Server2 implements AccountingServer {

    public function create_user()
    {
        echo "Create user on server 2";
    }

}

$server1 = new Server1();
$server1->create_user();

$server2 = new Server2();
$server2->create_user();

?>

If you mean to share the create_user() method in all your accounting servers you should use parent-child structure.

<?php

abstract class AccountingServer {

    public function create_user()
    {
        echo "Create user";
    }
}

class Server1 extends AccountingServer {

}

class Server2 extends AccountingServer {

}

$server1 = new Server1();
$server1->create_user();

$server2 = new Server2();
$server2->create_user();

?>

Does this answer your question?
