Hello,

I hit a wall. No offense, but this OO stuff in PHP is somehat weird, but
skip to the problem.
I have for example three classes:

class a {
    function make() {
        // some code
    }
}

class b extends a {
    function make() {
        // some code
        parent::make();
    }
}

class c extends b {
    function make() {
        // some code
        parent::make();
    }
}

now the class 'c' is instantiated and the member function 'make' is called.
All works up to the point where 'b'::make calls parent::make().
It seems to call itself :(. I can understand this is logical behaviour since
it's still an instance of class c,
so parent:: is still b::, but how should I call that grandparent's make()???
This doesn't seem like a good OOP.
For example delphi's 'inherited' works relative to the class it's used in
and it is way more useful than php's way.

is there any elegant soultion(s) to my problem?
