The object *instance* only gets to access the overridden method (assuming it's an instance of the child class):
    $instance->someMethod();

This is 100% correct, but just to clarify: it is possible to do something like this: class myParent { function someMethod() {

    return "I am myParent.\n";

} } class myChild extends myParent { function someMethod() {

    echo parent::someMethod();
    echo "I am myChild\n";
