Hi reader's today we will discuss "How to inherit a controller in another controllers in cakephp".
In cake php controllers are nothing more than php classes, You can inherit a controller to another just like a hierarchy of inheritance. Let's have a example, here we are creating a controller "SupersController.php", and a drived controller "SubsController.php".
Here is SupersController.php Controller.

<?php
App::uses('AppController', 'Controller');
/**
 * Supers Controller
 * Authur:Jaydeep
 */
class SupersController extends AppController {
    function className()
    {
        return "Hi i am SupersController";
    }
}

Now to inherit the "SupersController", you need to give the class definition to drive class as App::import('Controller', 'Supers');, than define the class properly like this "class SubsController extends SupersController {}". Now to call Supers class function create a object of "SupersController" and call its function className(). Here one thing we must take note is that at a time a controller can extend only one controller class.
Here is SubsController.php Controller.

<?php
App::import('Controller', 'Supers');
/**
 * Subs Controller
 *
 */
 // extends SupersController note no need to inherit AppController
class SubsController extends SupersController { 
    function getClassName() 
    {
        //create a object of Super class.
        $obj = new SupersController;
        //call super class function
        $obj->className();
    }
}

**output**:
Hi i am SupersController.
