Avoid base classes like the plague. They only limit future flexibility. Use inheritance like salt - as an enhancement for flavoring, otherwise you might develop high blood pressure ;). Better is to use delegation, factory or singleton as a way to access needed features, because then you can easily plug in new base functionality.
Is it standard OO practice or PHP specific ? (lack of multiple inheritance for instance (pun intended somewhat)) Thanks Philippe (new to this group)
