You can call methods from a classes's parents like so class foo { protected method bar() { echo "in foo!"; } } class foobar extends foo { public function bar() { parent::bar(); } } $fb = new foobar(); $fb->bar(); will output "in foo!";
wrong way round.. he's asking for: // note no extends class foobar { public function bar() { $this->foo = new Foo(); $this->foo->bar(); } public function poo() { echo "call me if you can"; } } // and the impossible class foo { public method bar() { foobar->poo(); // call the containing class } } in a dom or as3 or suchlike this would be this.parent.poo(); but we have not this->parent note: note parent::poo() which is effectively super.poo() <lol> so he can only inject the container/parent <?php class foobar { private $foo; public function bar() { $this->foo = new Foo( $this ); $this->foo->bar(); } public function poo() { echo "call me if you can"; } } // and the Possible class foo { private $parent; public function __construct( $parent ) { $this->parent = $parent; } public method bar() { $this->parent->poo(); // call the containing class method poo } } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
