Some class help (php5)

[Sweetiecakes]

Hello

I have a "base class" for my application, that holds a protected
variable called $db. $db is an ADODB object for the database.

When I make a class that extends the base class, $this->db does not work
(Call to a member function x on a non-object). How would I use the base
class's $db variable in it?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the class that extends the base class is
created in the base class.

Look up the scope resolution operator (::) to refer to properties/methods
of objects. Probably you want:

baseClassObj::db

Hi

If I try to use "parent::$db", the following error shows up:

Access to undeclared static property

If I try to use "parent::db", the following error showsup:

Undefined class constant 'db'

You do it with $this->db. Can you post some code?

Try parent->db or possibly $this->db. Without code posted, it's tought to
tell.

Top-posting is frowned on, by the way.

You're trying to define a class within a class? As far as I'm aware
that's not possible in PHP.

class foo
{
protected $db

class bar
{
if ($this -db)
{
...
}
}
}

is not possible in PHP as far as I'm aware. The following should be
valid (not tested).

class Foo
{
protected $db = 'test';
}

class Bar extends Foo
{
function getDb ()
{
return ($this -db);
}
}

$thisObj = new Bar;
echo ($thisObj -getDb ());
