Question

I have

class P {
    function fun() {
        echo "P"; 
    }
}

class Ch {    
    function fun() {
        echo "Ch";
    }
}

$x = new Ch();

How to call parent function fun from $x? Is it possible to do it directly or I have to write:

function callParent {
    parent::fun();
}

Answer 1

Simple… don’t have a method of the same name in the child, in which case the parent method will be inherited by the child, and a call to $x->fun() will call the inherited method.
