inheritance php4

["blackwater dev" <blackwaterdev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok,

I have a class which inherits from a parent class.  My first thought is that
the child class inherits all of the functions of the parent but that doesn't
seem to be the case, do I really have to put parent::somefunction() to call
each one?  Why can't I just use $this->parentfunction(); within the child
class?

Thanks!


class Parent{

    function getAddress(){}

}

class Child extends Parent{

   function getInfo(){

   $this->getAddress(); //throws error

}

}
