Re: PHP 5 Question about OO

maybe have a look at extends.... class Class1 extends Class2 {...

he will still have to make sure that Class2 is loaded. besides wrapping 1 object inside another is perfectly acceptable, if my GOF terminology serves me well then this is usually termed a Delegation pattern (not that the name is that important, then again it helps to be talking about the same thing :-/).

Hi List, I'm using the oo orientation of PHP5 for a while now. All Classes I've got have a require on top them, if I try to reference to other classes. something like require (Class2.php); class Class1{

    private function ... {
        $refClass2 = new Class2;
    }

} Now my question, is it possible to skip that require/ include part? In Java you don't need that, as class and file names are identical. thx janbro
