yes, you were right it works (when you said it works i tested your code out
and it definetly works). but this made me more confused than i was before.
i commented in the lines in my code that earlier didn't work (replaced them
sometime with class names hard coded solution) and it still did _not_ work.
ok, made copies of files in action and started to strip them down.
First, my stripped down code that works:
?
class a {
function make($params) {
}
}
class b extends a {
function make() {
echo WORKS OK;
}
}
class c extends b {
function make($params) {
parent::make();
}
}
class d extends c {
function make($params) {
parent::make($params);
}
}
$d = new d();
$d-make(whatever);
?
now, when i remove the definition of class 'a' to another file and include
the file like this:
file1.php:
?
class a {
function make($params) {
}
}
?
file2.php:
?
include ./file1.php; // or require - no difference
class b extends a {
function make() {
echo WORKS OK;
}
}
class c extends b {
function make($params) { // this gets called forever and generating
warnings
parent::make();
}
}
class d extends c {
function make($params) {
parent::make($params);
}
}
$d = new d();
$d-make(whatever);
?
then i get message 'Warning: Missing argument 1 for make()' ... the code is
same ... but working differently.at least with my php 4.0.5. so i think this
is a bug.
that include in our system is neccessary so to the point it works correctly,
i have to hardcode class names.
and thank you scott pointing me out (and getting me confused :) ).

it looks like your solution *is* elegant... i tried
out your code, becuase i was astonished that such a
simple thing allegedly wasn't working... and it
did work.
below is the exact code i had in my text editor,
and it executed perfectly.
when i called $c-make(), it printed A:: MAKE.
..am i misunderstanding your problem?
?
class a {
function make() {
// some code
print A:: MAKE;
}
}
class b extends a {
function make() {
// some code
parent::make();
}
}
class c extends b {
function make() {
// some code
parent::make();
}
}
$c = new c();
$c-make();
?

Subject: [PHP] parent and grandparent member functions
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?
