I know this can be avoided with just using another method name but I was curious as to if the following was possible.
I have this class: ( of course it has some more methods but they aren't relevant to the question )
class db extends mysqli {
public function query($sql){
$sql = $this->parent->query($sql);
if($this->error){
echo "<script>popup('SQL error bro!');</script>";
}else{
return $sql;
}
}
}
What I wanna do is call the original mysqli query() method from within the query() method I created. Is it possible or I shall get started renaming?
And also I'd like to point out that this is purely for development use, I know users aren't supposed to see sql errors. Reason I want to do this is that today I needed to change a table column name from id to vid, then my whole system stopped working and I spent 30 minutes researching, I'd just like to prevent that in future.
