Extending MySqli

[linchat]

Hello all,

I am extending mysqli and running into a small problem. mysqli_error requires a mysqli object. By extending mysqli I cannot pass that object to that function. Is it possible to extract a parent class? Another was to accomplish this?

myDb extends mysqli
{
         function __constructor(<login details>)
         {
              parent::_constructor(<login details>)
         }
}

$db = new myDb();
$db->query("<sql code>")
mysqli_error($db);

Error, needs mysqli

Also, my version of php does not support mysql->error or mysql->connect_error (5.1+) so I got to pass the mysqli object.

Thanks

It's a class variable when using OOP, so you can just echo it (or otherwise reference it) as:

echo $db->error;

Just went back and was reviewing it. Yeppers, they be there!

But, lets just say I did want to pull the parent class mysqli out, is that at all possible? Is there a way to do it?

Afraid I don't understand the question. 😕
