Call function in function from another class PHP

Question

I have read a few threads about abstract class here at Stackoverflow and I think it's what I need, but I can't get the declaration straight.

What I want to do is to call a function2 (in classB) in a function1 (in classA).

How should I do this?

Needs more info - do you have an initialized instance of classB in classA? — Pekka

If you aren't accessing any data members from that class, make the function static. Then you can call it using: MyClass::myFunction. — Evan Mulawski

If you only need to access ClassB's method from ClassA but don't need a parent-child relationship between the two, a static method may be more appropriate:

class ClassA { public function method1() { echo ClassB::method2(); } } class ClassB { public static function method2() { return 'WOOT!'; } } $cls_a = new ClassA(); $cls_a->method1(); // or alternatively, you don't even need to instantiate ClassA echo ClassB::method2();
