Re: 'extends' problem (Classes)

did you have your inheritance mixed up? (or maybe it was a typo) if > class Another extends Something { then > $obj2 = new Something; > $obj2->setX(5); > $obj2->setY(6); would yield setY not found, because setY is not in Something. Ie, both methods are available in "Another", only setX is in "Something". (Something being the ancestor) I know this could be just a typo, so if it is, then you might want to look at how you require the file that has class Something in it. <Trystano@aol.com> wrote in message news:a2.3d084d91.2cb2fbdd@aol.com... > Sorry if this is a double post for some of you, but I sent this email earlier > today and had a strange email in a foreign language which seems like an email > blocker.
