Re: OOP, dynamic class extention

Shouldn't this line: class my_child_class extends MY_BASE_CLASSFILE { Read like this: class my_child_class extends MY_BASE_CLASS { After all "base_class.php" isn't the name of your class, "base_class" is.

I get the following error: Fatal error: Class cepweb: Cannot inherit from undefined class my_base_class in /home/me/my_child_class.php on line 10 ex: // settings to be set on install of the app define("MY_BASE_CLASS","base_class"); define("MY_BASE_CLASSFILE","base_class.php"); // require the class file require_once(MY_BASE_CLASSFILE); class my_child_class extends MY_BASE_CLASSFILE { // yada yada } ?> Any thoughts on ways to overcome this? I have tried using a variable instead of a constant, but it didn't work. -Jackson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
