Re: [PHP4BETA] Class method calling same method in parent

In your base class (class X), have a base function (call it super_foo()) which will be called by the X::foo(), as follow: class X { function foo() { super_foo(); } function super_foo() { $this->bar(); } }; Then, in the derived class (class Y), it can call the super_foo() directly. class Y extends X { function foo() { $this->super_foo(); $this->baz(); } }; Hope that helps.
