    function __construct()
    {
        echo "im parent" ;
    }

$p->value = 500 ; 

$c = new childClass ; 
$c->sayIt(); // this output null ! i want it to output 500 , how i can do that

Bad Bad Bad The code is strictly for educational purpose i would advice you to get a book on basic Principles of Object Oriented programming

Making your variable static would make it accessible via the child class

class parentClass {
    public static $value = null;

    function __construct() {
        echo "patent called";
    }
}
class childClass extends parentClass {

    function sayIt() {
        var_dump(self::$value);
    }
}

$p = new parentClass();
parentClass::$value = 500;

$c = new childClass();
$c->sayIt();
