At least two ways you could go about it. Most straight forward would
be to inherit, like this:
class a {
public $one;
public function someMethod() {
$this->one = '1';
}
}
class b extends a{
public $two
function someOtherMethod() {
$this->two = '2';
}
}
$object = new b;
$object->someMethod();
$object->someOtherMethod();
print $object->one, $object->two;
In addition to that, if you actually need to use an instance of a
separately to b, you can pass the instance of a into b as a parameter.
Definition for 'b' would need to be something like:
class b {
public $a;
public $two
function __Constructor($dummy) {
$this.a = $dummy;
)
function someOtherMethod() {
$this->two = '2';
}
}
$object1 = new a;
$object2 = new b(&$object1);
$object1->someMethod();
$object2->someOtherMethod();
print $object2->a->one, $object2->two;
There are more than likely other ways to go about this. Check the
documentation for further examples of how to use classes in PHP.
