PHP Include All Functions in Directory Inside Class

Is there a possibility of including all functions within directory within a class. For example:

class.php

class all_functions{
 foreach(glob(__DIR__.'/functions/*.php') as $file){include($file);}
}

functions/function1.php

function hello(){
 echo 'hello';
}

functions/function2.php

function goodbye(){
 echo 'goodbye';
}

Result would be a class all_functions() that includes functions hello() and goodbye(). I’d like to just add functions into a class by just adding a file with the function.

    I found a great solution to this problem. Considering everything that was mentioned in the comments, I've devised a solution. Although it deviates from the initial premise, this is a solution I was looking for:

    class.php

    class all_functions{
 function __call($method,$arguments){
  include 'functions/'.$method.'.php';
  echo $word;
 }
}

    functions/hello.php

    $word='hello';

    functions/goodbye.php

    $word='goodbye';

    I used to have something similar. Generating JS api file on the fly according to php functions. On every request (on dev environment only) I would regenerate it and rewrite the file if necessary.

    So, here’s pseudo code:

    if (DEV) {
    $content = 'class AllFunctions {';
    
    foreach (glob(__DIR__.'/functions/*.php') as $file) {
        $functionContent = file_get_contents($file);
        $content .= "public static $functionContentnn";
    }
    
    $content .= '}';
    
    file_put_contents("AllFunctions.php", $content);
}

// later:
include ("AllFunctions.php");

AllFunctions::hello();
