How to access the constructor of the (first) parent class?

Question

PHP

Hello.
During the discussion (well, you know, at such moments all sorts of thoughts come to mind, which is very good), the question arose - is it possible to call the constructor of the "first" parent class with such an inheritance hierarchy:

class Prnt {
  public function __construct() {
    echo 'In Prnt';
  }
}

class A extends Prnt {
  public function __construct() {
    echo 'In A';
  }
}

class B extends A {
  public function __construct() {
    echo 'In B';
  }
}

How to call the constructor of the parent class A in the constructor of class B - it doesn’t raise questions, but here’s how to call the constructor of class Prnt from the constructor of class B (at the same time, in the constructor of class A there is no call to the constructor of class Prnt) - here we settled on the fact that it is impossible implement such a challenge.
It seems that the question is closed, but still I would like to hear the opinion of more experienced people.

Answer 1

class B extends A
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        echo 'In B';
        Prnt::__construct();
    }
}

class B extends A
{
    public function __construct() 
    {
        echo 'In B';
 
        $reflection = new ReflectionClass(self::class);
        $parent = $reflection->getParentClass();
        while ($parent->getParentClass()) {
            $parent = $parent->getParentClass();
        }
        $class = $parent->getName();
        $class::__construct();
    }
}

Similarly, you can refer to any method (not just a constructor) of any ancestor class, if the scope allows.
