How does you object "contain" the textboxes, and how have you defined the
method getTextBoxByID?

I'm no real OOP programmer, but in this case I'd:

<?php

class B{
function display(){
echo "works";
}
}

class A{
var $bs = array();
function add(){
$this->bs[] = new B;
}
}

$a = new A;
$a->add();

$a->bs[0]->display();

?>
