[PHP] __call for existing methods?

[Maximiliano Churichi]

Is there a way to catch EVERY method of a inheritance class?
something like this...

class Father
{
        public function __call ($name, $args)
        {
                $this->doSomethingBefore();
                
                if ( method_exists($this, $name) )
                        return $this->$name($args);
                else
                        echo 'invalid method';
        }
        
        public function doSomethingBefore ()
        {
                echo 'something before called method';
        }
}

class Son extends Father
{
        public function insert ()
        {
                echo 'inserting';
        }
}

$johnDoe = new Son();

$johnDoe->insert();
/*
-- Expected return:
something before called method
inserting
*/

$johnDoe->foo();
/*
-- Expected return:
something before called method
invalid method
*/
