h2. Description

Prototypal inheritance for PHP classes

h2. Basic Use

First, any class that you want to utilize prototyping must 1) extend the ProtoObject class (or a child of it) and 2) call the ProtoObject constructor (@ProtoObject::__construct@).



Then, you can access the prototype chain either statically or through an instance of the class; however, if no instance has been created before you try to use prototyping statically, then you must first initialize the prototype chain by calling @init_prototype()@:

one = 'foo';


  $my_object = new MyClass();

  echo $my_object->one;   // outputs: foo

  $my_object->prototype->one = 'bar';

  echo $my_object->one;   // outputs: bar

?>


Prototypes can be methods, as well. Every prototype method must have a first parameter (eg. @$self@) in order to access the object in question (much the same way python methods work).

two = function($self) {

    echo $self->one;

  };

  

  $my_object->two();   // outputs bar


?>
