The following code does not produce the output with the name Jock. I suspect because in the class Animal the $name is private, but the construct is public so should the subclass not be able to get the $name from the construct. I do not want to make $name public.
class Animal{
private $name;
public function __construct($name) {
$this->name = $name;
}
public function Greet(){
echo "Hello, I'm some sort of animal and my name is ", $this->name ;
}
}
class Dog extends Animal{
private $type;
public function __construct($name,$type) {
$this->type = $type;
parent::__construct($name);
}
public function Greet(){
echo "Hello, I'm a ", $this->type, " and my name is ", $this->name;
}
}
$dog2 = new Dog('Jock','dog');
$dog2->Greet();
