RE: [PHP4BETA] how to access objects parent?

Might you create an propery called super in parasite. class parasite { var $super; ... then use super as an alias of $bigmama $bigmama->worm = new parsite(); $bigmama->worm->super = &$bigmama; Regards, Stewart. -----Original Message----- From: waldschrott [mailto:waldschrott@kiffen.de] Sent: 10 May 2000 13:37 To: Dan; php4beta Subject: Re: [PHP4BETA] how to access objects parent? I´m not sure what you mean. I do not derive. I´m just creating a new object into another object. I think I´ve mis-chosen the class name "child" because actually "child" and "mama" have nothing to do with each other. Perhaps that would be better: $bigmama = new mama(); $bigmama->bag=' $bigmama->equipment1 = new cake(); $bigmama->worm = new parasite(); $bigmama->worm->eat(); Bigmama´s worm is a parasite eating only eating equipment1´s, but how can he? class parasite { function eat() { $super->equipment1=''; } } // A kind of $super like in Java would be needed. Can anyone explain if (and how) it is possible to realize this? thx "Dan" wrote: > Use the name of the object you derive from.
