Question

I mean something like that:

class parentClass {
    public function method() {
        echo $this->prop;
    }
}
class childClass extends parentClass {
    public $prop = 5;
}

How can I get a child prop from the parent prop?

Thanks…

Answer 1

Either I don’t fully understand what you want or the solution is as trivial as the following code.

class parentClass {
    public function method() {
        echo $this->prop;
    }
}
class childClass extends parentClass {
    public $prop = 5;
}
$object = new childClass();
$object->method();

I mean the child class is extending the base class which means it will also inherit all the methods of its parent’s class. That makes the whole process of using the parent’s class method as simple as calling it from the instance of the child class.
