That's not what the original question was, though. David (I think, unless I got my nested replies wrong), was looking to call a method of ClassA with an object of ClassB: > > If I have a PHP class (let's say it's called ClassA), how do I call a > > method from another class (ClassB) within ClassA? Thanks. The answer to this question, unless my OOP theory is gone, is that you can't, unless ClassB is an extension of classA. So if you have: class ClassA { // some vars function get_contents() { // some stuff return $something; } } and then: class ClassB extends ClassA { // some vars function display_contents() { print $this->get_contents(); } } Then you're good. Otherwise, I don't think it's possible... -- [ joel boonstra | jboonstra@gospelcom.net ]
