dear all ... i have question, i've tried look at google but still can't figured out how to do it... i want access parent property from child object the code was like <? class DAO { private $db; private $id; protected function getId() { return $this->id; } protected function setId($id) { $this->id = $id; } function getDB() { return $this->$db; } function setDB($db) { $this->db = $db; } public function load($id) { $query = "SELECT * FROM ". constant(get_class($this)."::tableName"). " WHERE ". constant(get_class($this)."::pkFields"). "='".$id."'"; $rs = $this->db->Execute($query); $cObj = $rs->FetchObject(true); return $cObj; } public function save($rowData) { $this->db->debug = true; $query ="Select * FROM ".constant(get_class($this)."::tableName")."\n"; $res =$this->db->Execute($query); $insertSQL = $this->db->GetInsertSQL($res,$rowData); $res =$this->db->Execute($insertSQL); if($res) return true; return false; } public function update($row, $id) { $query = "SELECT * FROM ".constant(get_class($this)."::tableName")."\n" . "WHERE ".constant(get_class($this)."::pkFields")."='".$id."'"; $res = $this->db->Execute($query); $updateSQL = $this->db->GetUpdateSQL($res,$row); $db->Execute($updateSQL); } public function getAll($criteria='', $order='') { if(empty($order)) $order = constant(get_class($this)."::pkFields"); $query = "SELECT * FROM ".constant(get_class($this)."::tableName")."\n" . $criteria . "ORDER BY ".$order; $row = $this->db->Execute($query); if(!$row) { $this->error = $this->db->ErrorMsg(); return false; } return $row->getArray(); } } and i have this child <?php include 'BaseDAO.class.php'; class TaskCLDAO extends DAO { const tableName = 'task'; const pkFields = 'task_id'; function findWithRelation($id) { $query = "select * from task LEFT JOIN log ON task.id=log.task_id"; $db = parent::getDB(); $res = $db->Execute($query); return $res->getArray(); } } ?> and this is the class that called it <?php $obj = new TaskCLDAO(); $obj->setDB($db); // i have another file called config that initialized the db; $res = $obj->findWithRelation(1); ?> but the php's said Fatal error: Cannot access empty property... what does it mean ?? is there another way to access "$db" that parent have ?
