class myClass {
public function func() {
return "Yay!!";
}
}
class otherClass extends myClass {
public function otherFunc() {
echo $this->func();
}
}
$class=new otherClass();
echo $class->otherFunc();
oh yes, it's that simple.
2 things to remember:
1. If you want to see output, actually make sure the function you call
RETURNS any output in the first place. ($hello = "Yay!!"; isn't
returning anything)
2. parent::* calls on the parent class in a static context. If your
class extends another, it automatically inherits all functions from that
class, unless it overwrites it itself. So you can simply use
$this->func() in your child class.

Hi, maybe if I post below what I'm trying to do it may make more sense:
class myClass {
public function func() {
$hello = "Yay!!";
}
}
class otherClass extends myClass {
public function otherFunc() {
echo parent::func();
}
}
$class=new otherClass();
echo $class->otherFunc();
Nothing outputs. Sorry I am slightly new to OOP so there may be a simple fix
for this?

I did'nt understand what you mean, but I guess you're seeking for the
parent keyword. Read again the PHP manual about OOP.
