RE: [PHP] Inheritance Question

If you need to use variables that are stored in the object, then use $this->jk(); If you're calling bar::do_something(); then $this wont be set, so you'll need to use foo::jk() instead. If you're calling jk() from an object, and you don't need to use any object attributes, then either way would be okay... but I'd use $this->jk() anyway, just to keep it all in the object (just in case...)

Example: class foo { function jk() { echo "In here!"; } } class bar extends foo { function do_something() { //Either this one... $this->jk(); //Or this one...?? foo::jk(); } } Which is the best way? Is one a way a less memory intensive way than the other? Thanks in advance Jarrad Kabral -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
