Esimerkki 1. is_subclass_of() example

`<?php
// define a class
class WidgetFactory
{
var $oink = 'moo';
}
// define a child class
class WidgetFactory_Child extends WidgetFactory
{
var $oink = 'oink';
}
// create a new object
$WF = new WidgetFactory();
$WFC = new WidgetFactory_Child();
if (is_subclass_of($WFC, 'WidgetFactory')) {
echo "yes, \$WFC is a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
} else {
echo "no, \$WFC is not a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
}
if (is_subclass_of($WF, 'WidgetFactory')) {
echo "yes, \$WF is a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
} else {
echo "no, \$WF is not a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
}
// usable only since PHP 5.0.3
if (is_subclass_of('WidgetFactory_Child', 'WidgetFactory')) {
echo "yes, WidgetFactory_Child is a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
} else {
echo "no, WidgetFactory_Child is not a subclass of WidgetFactory\n";
}
?>`

The above example will output:

    yes, $WFC is a subclass of WidgetFactory
    no, $WF is not a subclass of WidgetFactory
    yes, WidgetFactory_Child is a subclass of WidgetFactory
