You're previous thread says that you want drive() to be static, but you're not declaring it static. If it needn't be static, then you can do this: class Car { function drive() { echo get_class($this) . "\n"; } } class Porsche extends Car { } $carType = new Porsche(); $carType->drive(); -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
