note 36696 added to keyword.extends

the model as in the example of "quinton" is what you want to have. Not the method of "kimh216" with function callClass when calling function C() { //global $a,$b; $this->a = parent::callClass('A');//no effect $this->b = parent::callClass('B');//no effect } you will not have 1 data object.If i wanted to add a function to class A and i wanted to call it , I can only do it from Class C .. otherwise if I were to do $c = new C(); $c->someExtraFunctionThatIsInClassA(); it will give an error stating "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: functionName() in f:\ibserver\www\meuk\classvbs\test.php.php on line 34" ------------ If i add a new function in Person class of the first example of quinton: function boe(){ echo "some text"; } then i can call it by : $family->members[0]->boe(); since the members array has Personobjects in it. Now you have 1 Object that can access every function as a whole. regards rml ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/keyword.extends.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36696 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36696&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36696&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
