How do I use a function that I defined in a parent class in the child class?
for example if i use a class like the below
<?php
class mat
{
function square($x)
{
return $x *$x;
}
}
class matchild extends mat
{
function doublesquare($x)
{
return square($x) * square($x)
}
}
?>
If I try the above , I get an error saying that the square function is not defined.
Answers and suggestions appreciated.
