php类定义公共变量,PHP类扩展了一个公共变量

我有两个班

class validate {

public $mediaFlag;

function ValidateTypeOfMedia($SOEmag,$SOEtab,$Soct,$DAL,$insertMeda,$other){

if($SOEmag==""){

return "Must select Media Type";

}

else{

$this->mediaFlag=1;

}

}

function whatever()

{

if( $this->mediaFlag==1)

{

echo "flag is here";

}

else {

echo "flag didn't work";

}

}

}/// Class validate Ends

class InsertINDB extends validate

{

function test(){

if( $this->mediaFlag==1)

{

echo "flag is here";

}

else {

echo "flag didn't work";

}

}

}我遇到的问题是在类insertINDB中，函数测试无法识别mediaFlag变量已设置...但是，函数无论在父类中如何识别。所以我的问题，如何在类InsertINDB函数测试不知道该标志已设置在父类。

$object_validate= new validate;

$object_DB= new InsertINDB;

$object_validate->whatever();

$object_DB->test();
