So... I'm trying to extend PEAR::DB. It'd be great to keep everything it offers and just add a few more perhaps unconventional functions.
Intuitively, it seemed like this approach might work:

<?PHP

    require_once("DB.php");

	# Toy Extension of DB Class
    class DBToyExt extends DB
    {
        var $foo = 1;
        var $bar = 2;

        function testext($x)
        {
            echo "\nHEY: $x";
        }
    }

    $dte = DBToyExt::connect("mysql://weston_tssa:******@localhost/weston_tssa");

    $dte->testext('testing');
    $dte->testext($dte->moo);
    $dte->testext($dte->bar);

?>
However, it doesn't seem to understand that the method "testext" exists, and gives me a fatal error to that effect, as you can see:

$dte will only have the return value of DBToyExt::connect() - it won't allow you to access other methods in the class.

You'll need to:

$dbtoy = new DBToyExt();
$dbtoy->connect(....)
$dbtoy->testext('testing');
