However, it is rather contrary to the philosophy and goals of OOP, in that depending on a global value creates a strong coupling between objects, when loose coupling should be your goal.
Perhaps you should look into making class B a[url=http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.patterns.php]singleton pattern[/url] , then get an instance of it within class C?
OOP problem w/ ::PARENT
Is there a way to couple ‘PARENT’ to the specific class, such as $this->PARENT::Function();
example:
Object B extends Object A
Object C accesses Object B through $GLOBAL
Object B’s PARENT::FUNCTION() now tries to access Object C’s parent – whereas I want it to access object B’s parent.

<?php
class A
{
public function example()
{
echo "This is class A.";
}
}
class B extends A
{
public function example()
{
parent::example();
}
}
class C
{
public function example()
{
$GLOBALS['b']->example();
}
}
$GLOBALS['b'] = new B();
$c = new C();
$c->example(); // outputs "This is class A."
?>
