use self::build() or A::build() for that case 2006/8/4, Christian Weiske <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello all, I recently had a problem that could be solved, but in an ugly way: Class B extended Class A. Both classes define a method with the same name. B called A's constructor, and A called $this->method(). This executed B::method(), not A::method() as you would expect it. <?php class A { function __construct() { $this->build(); } function build() { echo "buildA "; } } class B extends A { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->build(); } function build() { echo "buildB "; } } new B(); ?> output is: "buildB buildB " expected would be: "buildA buildB " I suggest changing the behavior of php to never call methods of classes that are added by subclasses, only own ones or inherited ones. -- Regards/MfG, Christian Weiske
