You'll need to: $dbtoy = new DBToyExt(); $dbtoy->connect(....) $dbtoy->testext('testing');

But you cannot do: $dbtoy = new DBToyExt(); $dbtoy->connect(....) $dbtoy->testext('testing'); $result = $dbtoy->query('SELECT...'); //[...] You have to do something like this: $dbtoy = new DBToyExt(); $db = $dbtoy->connect(....) $dbtoy->testext('testing'); $result = $db->query('SELECT...'); //[...] If you want to avoid that, you have to write a wrapper around DB. best regards Andreas
