Same method used in several classes

[JaskaS]

There is actually one way how you can call common methods from multiple classes. It's bit of a hack but works, though I don't recommend to use it because it's not documented feature.

class Common{
    protected $property = '';
        
    function commonMethod(){
        $this->property = 'test';    
    }

}

class SomeClass{
        
    function commonMethod(){
        Common::commonMethod();    
    }
    
}

class SomeOtherClass{

    function commonMethod(){
        Common::commonMethod();    
    }
}

$obj = new SomeClass();
$obj->commonMethod();

$obj2 = new SomeOtherClass();
$obj2->commonMethod();

/* output
SomeClass Object
(
    [property] => test
)
SomeOtherClass Object
(
    [property] => test
)
*/ 

Interesting Just spotted this from http://fi2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php

This is what dbevfat posted above. It's actually a bug and shouldn't be relied on.
