I've figured it out :)

Thanks for the help, I just need to walk away for a minute and come back to it.

all I need to do is this:



myClass.php
----------------------
<?PHP
require mySecondClass.php;

class myClass
{
        /*
Now I can create/edit/maninpulate/etc new and old instances of "mySecondClass"
        */
}

?>



mySecondClass.php
-------------------
<?PHP

mySecondClass
{
        //constuct, functions, etc....
}


?>

Dear Andrew,

I think normaly it isn't possible to use another class in a class, without using extends. But you should use your array as a container. After you use as a container, you can make new instance into a array field.

Now you can use the content of the container to administrate the instances of the complete class. I just changed some things at your example. Please have a look and ask if you have any questions.

<?php

 class fruitBasket ext
 {
   private $fruits = array();  //this is a class Container

   public function addFruit($newFruit)
   {
     $this->fruits[] = new fruit($newFruit);
   }

   public function makeAllApples()
   {
     foreach($this->fruits AS $fruit)
     {
       $fruit->changeName("apple");
     }
   }

   public function showAllFruits()
   {
     foreach($this->fruits AS $fruit)
     {
       echo $fruit->showFruit()."<br>";
     }
   }
 }

 class fruit
 {
   private $name;

   public function __construct($name)
   {
     $this->name = $name;
   }

   public function changeName($newName)
   {
     $this->name = $newName;
   }

   public function showFruit()
   {
     return $this->name;
   }
 }

 $Cls = new fruitBasket();

 $Cls->addFruit("test1");
 $Cls->addFruit("test2");
 $Cls->addFruit("test3");
 $Cls->addFruit("test4");
 $Cls->addFruit("test5");
 $Cls->addFruit("test6");

 $Cls->makeAllApples();

 $Cls->showAllFruits();

?>

I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

I'm not sure if you can do this, but i'm trying to create a class that is build of another class. I also want to be able to do functions on the class1 from within class2.


example:

class fruitBasket{

private $fuit = array();  //this is a class

public function addFruit($newFruit)
{
$this->fruitBasket[] = $newFruit();
}

public makeAllApples()
{
foreach($this->fruit AS $value)
{ $value->changeName("apple");
} }

}



class fruit{

private $name;

public __construct($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}

public changeName($newName)
{
$this->name = $newName;
}
}
