----- Original Message ----- From: listgroups08 Hi all, I am playing with classes for the first time and I am at a bit of a loss in php. How do I access the properties/functions of the parent class from sub function? And how do I register resources into the scope of the parent class?
<snip> ------------------------------------ I came up with this - $parent_class = eval("&" . get_parent_class(this)); $sibling_class = eval("&" . get_parent_class(this) . '->sibling_name'); $parent_variable_scope = &get_class_vars(get_parent_class(this)); The first two should work as there returning references to the current instance of the prototyped class but I doubt the third would work because it most likely returns a reference to the original class before it is prototyped. There must be a simpler way. Is there any function or directive that works in the scope of a class like the 'global' directive works in the environment scope? I can't seem to find good information on directives (sometimes called primitives) in the php manual (php.net). Is there a page that lists directives? Thanks.
