How to auto call function in php for every other function call

by

Your best bet is the magic method __call, see below for example:

<?php

class test {
    function __construct(){}

    private function test1(){
        echo "In test1", PHP_EOL;
    }
    private function test2(){
        echo "test2", PHP_EOL;
    }
    protected function test3(){
        return "test3" . PHP_EOL;
    }
    public function __call($method,$arguments) {
        if(method_exists($this, $method)) {
            $this->test1();
            return call_user_func_array(array($this,$method),$arguments);
        }
    }
}

$a = new test;
$a->test2();
echo $a->test3();
/*
* Output:
* In test1
* test2
* In test1
* test3
*/

Please notice that test2 and test3 are not visible in the context where they are called due to protected and private. If the methods are public the above example will fail.

test1 does not have to be declared private.
