So... I'm trying to extend PEAR::DB. It'd be great to keep everything it offers
and just add a few more perhaps unconventional functions.
Intuitively, it seemed like this approach might work:
<?PHP
require_once("DB.php");
# Toy Extension of DB Class
class DBToyExt extends DB
{
var $foo = 1;
var $bar = 2;
function testext($x)
{
echo "\nHEY: $x";
}
}
$dte = DBToyExt::connect("mysql://weston_tssa:[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/weston_tssa");
$dte->testext('testing');
$dte->testext($dte->moo);
$dte->testext($dte->bar);
?>
However, it doesn't seem to understand that the method "testext" exists, and
gives me a fatal error to that effect, as you can see:
http://weston.canncentral.org/web_lab/mlib/DBToyExt.php
I'm guessing this is a side effect of the static constructor -- apparently
using the "extends" keyword is enough to help the engine know that the class
DBToyExt is supposed to inherit the static function "connct", but it's not
enough to bless the return value of connect from the class DB to DBToyExt....
How do I get around this and extend DB?
Thanks,
Weston
