oh yes, it's that simple.
2 things to remember:
1. If you want to see output, actually make sure the function you call RETURNS any output in the first place. ($hello = "Yay!!"; isn't returning anything) 2. parent::* calls on the parent class in a static context. If your class extends another, it automatically inherits all functions from that class, unless it overwrites it itself. So you can simply use $this->func() in your child class.


not true (well you can use $this->func() in this case) ... but
parent::* assumes the context your in (i.e. static or not):

<?php

class Test
{
        static function func1() { echo __METHOD__,"\n"; }
        function func2() { echo __METHOD__," called from ", get_class($this), 
"\n"; }
}

class TestTwo extends Test
{
        static function func1() { parent::func1(); }
        function func2() { parent::func2(); }   
}

$t2 = new TestTwo;

TestTwo::func1();
$t2->func2();

Hi, maybe if I post below what I'm trying to do it may make more sense:

class myClass {
        public function func() {
            $hello = "Yay!!";
        }
    }

    class otherClass extends myClass {
        public function otherFunc() {
            echo parent::func();
        }
    }

    $class=new otherClass();
    echo $class->otherFunc();

Nothing outputs. Sorry I am slightly new to OOP so there may be a simple fix
for this?

use a return statement, just like standalone functions, assuming
you want to output the "Yah!!".

Hope I have made myself as clear as possible!

 I did'nt understand what you mean, but I guess you're seeking for the
parent keyword. Read again the PHP manual about OOP.
