cannot extend Pear::DB class

[g8z]

hi,

I cannot seem to properly extend the "DB" PHP class from Pear. I have
created a new class called "Connection" which extends Pear, but I seem to be
able to call functions from the Connection class at all, even though it
appears that the class is properly extending the DB class.

What am I doing wrong?

You can download my code from:
http://www.tufat.com/connection_test.rar

Please run the "index.php" file in the public_html directory to see an
example of this problem. There is a function called "test" in the Connection
class which I am trying to call, but I keep getting an "undefined function"
error.

thanks,
Darren

I think connection_test.rar should probably be connection_test.tar.

In any event, understand that PEAR:😃B is really just a factory class. It creates other classes when connect is called. Each database type (mysql, pgsql etc) has it's own class. If you wanted to add functionality then you would have to override each of these classes.

If you already understand all this and you really do just want to tweak the connect method a bit then repost the code as a tar file and I'll take a look.

hi,

Can you provide me with a very simple example of this?

It's a .rar file, not a .tar file. RAR files can be opened with WinRAR.

thanks,
