WHOA... KEEP IT SIMPLE! Remember, when you write a class definition, you are creating a new "type" of object. And when you extend those classes, you are creating a heirarchy. To get to the point... all the class defs below work together to provide a solid organization of data. <?php abstract class Animal { protected $type, $name; public function __construct($aType, $aName) { $this->type = $aType; $this->name = $aName; } public function __toString() { return "Animal [type=$this->type, name=$this->name]"; } } class Dog extends Animal { public function __construct($aName) { parent::__construct("Dog", $aName); } } class Cat extends Animal { public function __construct($aName) { parent::__construct("Cat", $aName); } } echo 'My dog: ' . (new Dog('Sam')) . '<br>'; echo 'My cat: ' . (new Cat('Fluffy')) . '<br>'; echo 'Your dog: ' . (new Dog('Walter')) . '<br>'; echo 'Yout cat: ' . (new Cat('Ginger')); ?> My dog: Animal[type=Dog, name=Sam] My cat: Animal[type=Cat, name=Fluffy] Your dog: Animal[type=Dog, name=Walter] Yout cat: Animal[type=Cat, name=Ginger] ... and notice the property called $type, is the same as using __CLASS__ in most of the previous posts, but without the complexities of the PHP language. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 67.150.175.152 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86066 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86066/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86066/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86066/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86066/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86066/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86066/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86066 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86066 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
