    <p>I'm trying to do something that I thought would be quite simple but as I am relatively new to OOP in PHP I'm having a bit of trouble.</p> <p>Here is my code : </p> <pre><code>&lt;?php class MyClass { protected $variable = 'DEFAULT'; function __construct($newVariable) { $this-&gt;variable = $newVariable; echo $this-&gt;variable; } } class OtherClass extends MyClass { function __construct() { echo $this-&gt;variable; } } $foo = new MyClass('MODIFIED'); // Output : MODIFIED $bar = new OtherClass(); // Output : DEFAULT ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I searched a lot of different threads and websites but haven't found how I could possibly pass the redefined value of $variable to the child class. Can someone guide me through it ? If there's a way.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> Clarifying what is actually happening in the script I'm having this problem : I have a class that creates a form, and in that class there are several variables telling the functions in what environnement we are : if it's a multilanguage form or not, if I want a plain form or a structured one, parameters like that. And some of these environnement variables are modified through the execution of the class, by its functions.</p> <p>Now, because of the needs of my page, I have a child class dedicated to creating "select" fields. It inherits the core function of the main class to create fields and such but the child class takes several more parameters. Thing is, I would still like the select class to inherits the environnement parameters from the main class, in the state they are.</p> <p>As I'm typing this I realize the way I approached it may not be the right way to do it because when I look at my code I think there might be another way to do that. In my code I have two objects where I would need it to be only one, but I don't really know how I would put that actually.</p>

    1. COYou're not redefining the variable, you're just setting it in the parents constructor. Call it an you've what you need.

    2. COOOP here is just inheritance of functions and their default variables. It's not magically linking two objects together. Sadly.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
