I am wondering if there is a way to > differenciate between parent->Username and child->Username. Are you talking about a child class that extends another parent class, or something similar? Kind of like this: class FooParent { var $Username = '1'; } class FooChild extends FooParent { var $Username = '2'; } $F = new FooChild; echo $F->Username; If so, then, no, I don't think there's a way to distinguish the two. The second instance will prevail. To distinguish, you could create two separate object names... $F1 = new FooParent; $F2 = new FooChild; echo "$F1->Username and $F2->Username"; Or perhaps calling two instances of the class into separate object names, then modify one instance of the Username variable... $F1 = new FooChild; $F2 = new FooChild; $F1->Username = '3'; echo "$F1->Username and $F2->Username"; All depends on what you're trying to do.
