Nick, Correct, I did mean to say "from" as AppController is the parent controller.. This is one of those DUH moments where I see that I wasn't correctly calling that function from within the class. I was able to get it going with parent::sendMessage(); but obviously that isn't the "right" way..
No java here, Ruby! Thanks for the help, appreciate the time you took to help me out. Cheers!

You say methods aren't being inherited by AppController, which implies you've defined methods higher up in the chain from AppController, and you're unable to call them from AppController. I assume you meant, Methods not being inherited FROM AppController. If you really mean by AppController then you're doing something wrong (or must have a good reason) because AppController should be the *top* of your app. you shouldn't be defining functions above AppController, because then you're in the cake libs. Assuming you meant you've defined a function sendMessage from withing AppController, and you're attempting to call that function from within another function you would do it like so: class SomeController extends AppController { function some_function(){ $this->sendMessage($from, $to, $subject, $msbBody); } } Make sure you're using the $this reference and not just attempting to call sendMessage() without "$this->" like you would/could in Java/Ruby/ etc,,. you have to always be explicit with PHP classes. Note: I'm assuming you're familiar with Java because you called them "methods" instead of "functions"..... Java was my first "real" language as well, so I almost always call functions "methods". Hope that helps, Nick How are you calling sendMessage in your other controller?
