As you can see from the code, on calling the method greet() using object ClassC, it’s impossible for the compiler to decide whether it has to call ClassA’s greet() or ClassB’s greet() method. So, this is to avoid such complications, PHP does not support multiple inheritance.

From any problems with multiple inheritance you choose the one that can be fixed with like throwing exception?

I see your point, but I don't think thats proper argument. Other arguments and composition over inheritance I am all in 🙌
