[PHP] calling parent class method from the outside

[admin]

Inside the body of method foo() you can of course use syntax like
parent::foo(). But is there a way to call the parent version of
obj->foo() outside the class? That kind of syntax is allowed in C++, for
example: Aclass a; if (a.Aparent::foo()) ...;

Some contrived example to illustrate the point:

class AParent {
  public function foo() { .. }
}

class A extends AParent {
  public function foo() {
    doit($this, __CLASS__, __FUNCTION__);
  }
}

function doit($obj, $classname, $funcname) {
  if (...)
//    $obj->classname_parent::$funcname();
}


Thanks.
