Function definitions in child classes override definitions with the same name in parent classes. In a child class, we can modify the definition of a function inherited from parent class.

<?php

class abc

{

var $a;

var $b;

function cal($p,$q)

{

$this->a=$p;

$this->b=$q;

$sum=$this->a+$this->b;

echo"it is addition of two parameters".$sum;

}

}

class xyz extends abc

{

var $a;

var $b;

var $c;

var $d;

function cal($p,$q)

{

$this->a=$p;

$this->b=$q;

$sum=$this->a*$this->b;

echo"multiplication of two parameters".$sum;

}

}

$obj=new xyz();

$obj->cal(5,2);
