How do i call a function of a child class from parent class? Consider this:
class whale
{
function __construct()
{
// some code here
}
function myfunc()
{
// how do i call the "test" function of fish class here??
}
}
class fish extends whale
{
function __construct()
{
parent::construct();
}
function test()
{
echo "So you managed to call me !!";
}
}
That's what abstract classes are for. An abstract class basically says: Whoever is inheriting from me, must have this function (or these functions).
abstract class whale
{
function __construct()
{
// some code here
}
function myfunc()
{
$this->test();
}
abstract function test();
}
class fish extends whale
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function test()
{
echo "So you managed to call me !!";
}
}
$fish = new fish();
$fish->test();
$fish->myfunc();
