I want to execute some functions if entity is member of few classes but not some.

There is a function called instanceof.

But is there something like

if ($entity !instanceof [User,Order,Product])

    Give them a common interface and then

    if (!$entity instanceof ShopEntity)

    or stay with 

    if (!$entity instanceof User && !$entity instanceof Product && !$entity instanceof Order)

    I would avoid creating arbitrary functions just to save some characters at a single place. On the other side if you need it “too often”, you may have a design flaw? (In the meaning of “too much edge cases” or such)
