You can use the special name "parent".  e.g.:

        parent::baseClassFunction();

Subject: [PHP] OO question


I want to be able to override a function/method in a parent class, but then
call that function/method from within the overriden function in the child
class. The Zend documentation states you can do this:

"In PHP 4.0 you can call member functions of other classes from within
member functions or from within the global scope. You can now, for instance,
override a parent function with a child function, and then call the parent
function from it."

But how do you do it? From the following syntax:

class childclass extends parentclass
..
function overridenFunction()
{
    // call parent function wich this function overrides.
    $this->overridenFunction()
    ...
}

Would the method being calling the parent method or would it be calling
itself?
