The Observer Pattern in PHP 5

Last week I continued my series of design patterns examples using PHP
5. Here now is my 14th example, the Observer pattern.

http://www.fluffycat.com/PHP-Design-Patterns-Observer/

In the Observer Pattern, a Subject object notifies an Observer object
if it's the Subject object's state changes.

Pretty simple and fairly useful.

An application for this pattern might be having a Subject object with
the state of a web page, and an Observer object which can produce RSS
feeds. If the Subject page changes it notifies the Observer object,
which produces an RSS feed for the changed page.

Lately I was needing to use multiple inheritance to split behaviour of a class and modularize it. But the problem raises when the need is to add operations to a method already present in one of them from another. I think the technical solution is the use of 'super'. Then I tried to write a decorator for automatize the 'super' call,but I failed. Next solution is implementing the observer pattern on methods call. I'm pretty sure there...

Two issues here: a) What is the accepted definition of "observer pattern". While I can't point to anything specific, I do remember having issues with inconsistency in the definition. b) Generic observer design in C++. I have been pushing the Austria "Twin" interface for a while and more recently the multi threaded version of it "TwinMT" (see the 6129 alpha on sourceforge)

Hello, What is the purpose of implementing the Observer Pattern if we can trigger an event easily? For example (from books), You have a "Forecaster" which notifies "Observable" when a prediction is ready, then there is a "WeatherViewer" which calls methods from the "Observer Interface".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
