Re: Re: OOP - Calling methods from classes that are inheriting?

class myClass { public function func() { return "Yay!!"; } } class otherClass extends myClass { public function otherFunc() { echo $this->func(); } } $class=new otherClass(); echo $class->otherFunc(); oh yes, it's that simple. 2 things to remember: 1. If you want to see output, actually make sure the function you call RETURNS any output in the first place. ($hello = "Yay!!"; isn't returning anything) 2. parent::* calls on the parent class in a static context. If your class extends another, it automatically inherits all functions from that class, unless it overwrites it itself. So you can simply use $this->func() in your child class. Ben Stones wrote:

Hi, maybe if I post below what I'm trying to do it may make more sense: class myClass {

        public function func() {
            $hello = "Yay!!";
        }
    }

    class otherClass extends myClass {
        public function otherFunc() {
            echo parent::func();
        }
    }

    $class=new otherClass();
    echo $class->otherFunc();

Nothing outputs. Sorry I am slightly new to OOP so there may be a simple fix for this? 2008/9/21 Lupus Michaelis <mickael+php@lupusmic.org<mickael%2Bphp@lupusmic.org>

Hope I have made myself as clear as possible!

I did'nt understand what you mean, but I guess you're seeking for the parent keyword. Read again the PHP manual about OOP. -- Mickaël Wolff aka Lupus Michaelis http://lupusmic.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
