classes parent::parent

Hi,

I searched thru the documentation and can not find a way to call a
object's parent's parent method. I do not want to call the direct
parent method. Let me demonstrate on an example.

class A {
function show() {
echo "A";
general handling
}
}

class B extends A {
function show() {
echo "B";
special handling for B;
parent::show();
}
}

class C extends B {
function show() {
echo "C";
special handling C;
parent::parent::show();
}
}

The call parent::parent::show(); in C does not work.

Thanks a lot,

Stefan Varga
