Re: DB_DataObject - problem with inheritance

You must be careful with this, though: You can't use properties in your base class that are already being used by DataObject. You can't use the same method names, either.

I beg to differ on the method caution. I find it very useful to override DataObject methods in the extension class. For example, some of my stored objects have comment fields, so I can catch that by overriding the insert method in my extension, with neither my child objects nor DataObject knowing about it: function insert() { $this->storeComments();

   return parent::insert();          // parent here refers to DB_DataObject
