通常需要这样一些类,这些类与其它现有的类拥有相同变量和函数。实际上,定义一个通用类用于所有的项目,并且不断丰富这个类以适应每个具体项目将是一个不错的练习。为了使这一点变得更加容易,类可以从其它的类中扩展出来。扩展或派生出来的类拥有其基类(这称为“继承”,只不过没人死)的所有变量和函数,并包含所有派生类中定义的部分。类中的元素不可能减少,就是说,不可以注销任何存在的函数或者变量。一个扩充类总是依赖一个单独的基类,也就是说,不支持多继承。使用关键字“extends”来扩展一个类。
<?php
class Named_Cart extends Cart {
var $owner ;
function set_owner ( $name ) {
$this -> owner = $name ;
}
}
?>
上述示例定义了名为 Named_Cart 的类,该类拥有 Cart 类的所有变量和函数,加上附加的变量 $owner 和一个附加函数 set_owner()。现在,以正常的方式创建了一个有名字的购物车,并且可以设置并取得该购物车的主人。而正常的购物车类的函数依旧可以在有名字的购物车类中使用:
<?php
$ncart = new Named_Cart ; // 新建一个有名字的购物车
$ncart -> set_owner ( "kris" ); // 给该购物车命名
print $ncart -> owner ; // 输出该购物车主人的名字
$ncart -> add_item ( "10" , 1 ); // (从购物车类中继承来的功能)
?>
这个也可以叫做“父-子”关系。创建一个类,父类,并使用 extends 来创建一个基于父类的新类:子类。甚至可以使用这个新的子类来创建另外一个基于这个子类的类。
Note:
类只有在定义后才可以使用!如果需要类 Named_Cart 继承类 Cart,必须首先定义 Cart 类。如果需要创建另一个基于 Named_Cart 类的 Yellow_named_cart 类,必须首先定义 Named_Cart 类。简捷的说:类定义的顺序是非常重要的。

extending a PHP class with an included file "delays" the compilation:
<?php
require 'MySuperclass.php';
var_dump(class_exists('MyFirstClass')); // FALSE
class MyFirstClass extends MySuperclass {}
// the "compilation" of this is delayed till execution
var_dump(class_exists('MyFirstClass')); // TRUE
class AnotherSuperclass { }
var_dump(class_exists('MySecondClass'));
// returns TRUE even if it's called "before" definition
class MySecondClass extends AnotherSuperclass {}
?>

You can always place the universal variables and functions into the deepest class. Then call or rewrite it in child classes. See example.
<?php
class ClassA
{
public $var;
function __construct()
{
$this->setVar();
$this->getVar();
}
protected function getVar()
{
echo $this->var;
}
public function setVar()
{
$this->var = 1000;
}
}
class ClassAChildA extends ClassA
{
function __construct()
{
$this->setVar();
$this->getVar();
}
public function setVar()
{
$this->var = 1001;
}
}
class ClassAChildB extends ClassA
{
function __construct()
{
$this->var = 1002;
$this->getVar();
}
public function getVar()
{
echo $this->var;
}
}
//prints 1000
$parent = new ClassA();
//prints 1001
$childA = new ClassAChildA();
//prints 1002
$childB = new ClassAChildB();
?>

I have found this the best way to grab a parents variables and such (that I love to set in the constructor, like standardized table names, etc.). I just call the parents constructor in the child constructor, then change variables inside the child constructor that needs to be customized for that class, or just leave it alone to make sure I understand I am using the parents constructor in the child constructor. (it's a good note and practice of mine.).
<?php
class MyParentClass
{
$this->table_one = "my_table";
$this->table_two = "variable_table";
}
class MyChildClass extends MyParentClass
{
public function construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->table_two = "newly_defined_table";
}
public function action()
{
$table1 = $this->table_one;
$table2 = $this->table_two;
return $table1 . " - " . $table2;
}
}
$myChildClass = new MyChildClass;
echo $myChildClass->action();
//Displays my_table - newly_defined_table

If you have a class that extends an other and both classes have a function with the same name then visibility to both classes should be the same, else you will have a fatal error.
An other interested part in the example bellow is that if visibility of the showName method is private then $this->name() will execute the showName method on class test. If it is public or protected it will execute method showName on class extendTest.
<?php
class test {
public function __construct() {
}
public function name() {
$this->xname('John');
}
private function showName($name) {
echo 'my name in test is '.$name;
}
}
class extendTest extends test {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
private function showName($name) {
echo 'my name in extendTest is '.$name;
}
}
$test = new extendTest();
$test->name();
?>
result: my name in test is John
If we change visibility of the showName method to public or protected then the result of the above will be:
my name in extendTest is John

You don't need to include_once the parent class if it's already declared. You do have to load the parent first and then the child.
[#6] bilalghouri at live dot com [2010-09-14 01:33:19]
One thing I figured out after a long time about extending a parent class that, if the child class does not have any construct function, it will use its parent's construct.
for example:
<?php
class Main
{
public $a;
public function __construct()
{
echo '::Parent Class initiated::';
$this -> a = 'we are in the parent class';
}
}
class Child extends Main
{
public function getA()
{
return $this -> a;
}
}
$main = new Main();
$main -> child = new Child;
echo $main -> child -> getA();
//Output - ::Parent Class initiated::::Parent Class initiated::we are in the parent class
?>
However, If we have a constructor in the child class as well:
<?php
class Child extends Main
{
public function __construct()
{
}
public function getA()
{
return $this -> a;
}
}
?>
Then :
<?php
$main = new Main();
$main -> child = new Child;
echo $main -> child -> getA();
// Output - ::Parent Class initiated::
?>
Note that the parent variable 'a' is not inherited by the child class if the constructor from the parent class isnt called.
This behaviour of extension made me waste a lot of my precious time, as I could not understand why some of my child classes were inheriting parent variables and some were not.
Hope this helps someone..

Just a quick example of how PHP will handle a parent calling a function named in both the parent and the child class. You would think it might use the function the way it is defined in the parent, but it does use the function that is defined in the child.
<?php
class One{
function showOne(){
echo 'Function One prints';
}
function hitFunction(){
$this->showOne();
}
}
class Two extends One{
function showOne(){
echo 'Function Two prints';
}
}
$thistwo = new Two;
$thistwo->hitFunction(); //prints "Function Two prints"
?>
[#9] Edward_nl [2006-03-03 02:54:48]
If you are using a child-class. Remember to call the constructor of the parent class aswell before you start using it. Otherwise you might get different results then you expected. It is stated in this document, but I got confused by the given example. So, here is my example:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
class test {
var $var;
function test() {
$this->var = 3;
}
}
class testing extends test {
function testing() {
parent::test();
}
function My_test() {
return $this->var;
}
}
$p = new testing();
echo $p->My_test();
// Returns 3
[#10] alan hogan [2005-11-26 17:48:15]
Just a note: It is possible to have a class inherit from multiple other classes, but only in a one-at-a-time linear hierarchy.
So this works, and C gets A and B functions:
<?php
class A {
public function af() { print 'a';}
public function bark() {print ' arf!';}
}
class B extends A {
public function bf() { print 'b';}
}
class C extends B {
public function cf() { print 'c';}
public function bark() {print ' ahem...'; parent::bark();}
}
$c = new C;
$c->af(); $c->bf(); $c->cf();
print "<br />";
$c->bark();
//abc
//ahem... arf!
?>
This does NOT work:
<?php
class A {
public function af() { print 'a';}
public function bark() {print ' arf!';}
}
class B {
public function bf() { print 'b';}
}
class C extends B, A {
public function cf() { print 'c';}
public function bark() {print ' ahem...'; parent::bark();}
}
$c = new C;
$c->af(); $c->bf(); $c->cf();
print "<br />";
$c->bark();
//Parse Error
?>

Here is a simple idea that I use when I need my abstract classes (the inherited classes) implemented before my functional classes.
<?php
$_CLASSES = array_merge (
glob ("classes*.class.php")
);
foreach ($_CLASSES AS $_CLASS) {
require ($_CLASS);
}
?>
[#12] volte6 at nowhere dot com [2005-03-31 10:11:12]
When declaring a class that relies upon another file ( because it extends the class defined in that file ), you should ALWAYS require_once() that file at the top.
This applies even when planning on looping through and including everything in the folder. Use require_once() in your loop, and at the top of the file that NEEDS the include.
[#13] tomnezvigin at comcast dot net [2005-03-06 17:19:58]
This may seem obvious, but check this scenario. You have a class folder:
+ class
--classA.php
--classB.php
--classC.php
--mainClass.php
Here... classA, classB, classC all extend the mainClass.
If you try to create a function that automatically includes all of the classes in a folder, normally, they are included alphabetically.
When you try to instantiate classC, for example, you will get an error:
"Cannot inherit from undefined class mainClass"
EVEN IF you instantiate the mainClass before you instantiate all of the other classes.
In other words, make sure your primary class is included before all others.
[#14] Msquared [2004-11-19 06:48:18]
Multiple inheritence is often more trouble than it's worth. For example, you have a class foo that inherits from both class bar and class baz. Classes bar and baz both have a fubar() method. When you create a foo object and call its fubar() method, which fubar() method is called: bar's or baz's?
It seems to me that using aggregate to glue one class's methods and data to another object is a bit like Ruby's fixins, but I could be wrong...
[[Editor's note:
The aggregate_* functions have been dropped, as of PHP 5
-S
]]
[#15] efredin at redtempest dot com [2004-03-02 17:35:11]
It is possible to override a method innherited from a parent class by simply re-defining the method (for those of us who enjoy using abstract classes).
<?php
class A
{
var $foo;
function A()
{
$this->foo = "asdf";
}
function bar()
{
echo $this->foo." : Running in A";
}
}
class B extends A
{
function bar()
{
echo $this->foo." : Running in B";
}
}
$myClass = new B;
$myClass->bar();
?>

Just a simple example about inheritance:
<?php
class a1{
var $a=10;
function a1($a){
$this->a=$a;
}
}
class a2 extends a1{
var $x=11;
function a2($x,$y){
$this->x=$x;
parent::a1($y); // or a1::a1($y) or $this->a1($y)
}
}
class a3 extends a2{
var $q=999;
}
$x=new a3(99,9);
echo $x->a,"<br>",$x->x,"<br> ",$x->q;
?>
The output will be:
9
99
999
[#17] calimero at creatixnet dot com [2003-06-22 20:58:53]
Just a quick note to make things more clear : while multiple inheritance is not allowed, several levels of single inheritance ARE ALLOWED indeed. Just test this example :
<?php
class A {
var $name='A';
function disp() {
echo $this->name;
}
}
class B extends A {
var $name='B';
}
class C extends B {
var $name='C';
}
$truc = new C() ;
$truc->disp(); // Will output C
?>
This is especially important to keep in mind while building a huge object hierarchy. for example :
+GenericObject
->+ Person
->->Employee
->+Computer
->->+WorkStation
->->-> PPC
->->-> Intel
->->+Server
->->->LDAPServer
->->->IntranetWebServer
.. and so on. Multiple level hierarchy relationship are possible in a tree-like structure (each child has one and only one parent, except for the root object).

a nice example using extends and multiple classes and constructors.

class Container extends CoreObject{
var $members;
function Container($name){
$this->_constructor($name);
}
function &add(&$ref){
$this->members[] = $ref;
return ($ref);
}
function show(){
parent::show();
foreach($this->members as $item){
$item->show();
}
}
function apply(){
}
}

function Person($name){
$this->_constructor($name);
}
}
class Family extends Container {
var $members;
function Family($name){
$this->_constructor($name);
}
}
echo "<pre>\n";
$family = new Family('my family');
$family->add(new Person('father'));

$family->add(new Person('boy'));
$family->show();
print_r($family);

[Editor's note: For an alternative to multiple inheritance, see the dynamic binding via object aggregation in the corresponding section of the manual.]
Multiple Inheritance is not supported but it is easy to emulate it:
<?php
class multipleInheritance
{
function callClass($class_to_call)
{
return new $class_to_call();
}
}
class A
{
function insideA()
{
echo "I'm inside A!<br />";
}
}
class B
{
function insideB()
{
echo "I'm inside B!<br />";
}
}
class C extends multipleInheritance
{
function insideC()
{
$a = parent::callClass('A');
$a->insideA();
$b = parent::callClass('B');
$b->insideB();
}
}
$c = new C();
$c->insideC();
?>
---
This will succesfully echo:
I'm inside A!
I'm inside B!
[#20] schultz at rancon dot de [2002-08-15 22:37:15]
This prints out 'ab'. No need to create a new instance of a, therefor both methods still exists with same name.
<?php
class a {
function samename(){
echo 'a';
}
}
class b extends a{
function samename(){
echo 'b';
}
function b(){
a::samename();
b::samename();
}
}
$test_obj = new b();
?>
[#21] griffon9 at hotmail dot com [2002-07-18 04:42:37]
Just to clarify something about inheritance. The following code :
<?php
class a
{
function call()
{
$this->toto();
}
function toto()
{
echo('Toto of A');
}
}
class b extends a
{
function toto()
{
echo('Toto of B');
}
}
$b=new b;
$b->call();
?>
...will correctly display "toto of B" (that is, the function declared in the parent is correctly calling the redefined function in the child)
[#22] php_AT_undeen_DOT_com [2001-12-11 11:31:02]
if the class B that extends class A does not have a constuctor function (i.e. a function named B), then the constructor function of A will be used instead, you don't need to make a constructor in B just to call the constructor of A.
For example:
<?php
class A
{
function A()
{
echo "HEY! I'm A!\n";
}
}
class B extends A
{
}
$b = new B();
?>
produces the output:
HEY! I'm A!

Just one thing that may seem obvious but not mentionned in this page is that you need to include/require the file containing the parent class or else you'll get an error:

require(dirname(__FILE__).'/'.'myParent.php');
// ...
myChild extends myParent {
// ...
}
// ...
?>
