Looks like you're suffering from mad dollar disease. You should have the
following instead:

class A
{
  var $a, $b;
  function A($a)
  {
    $this->a = $a;
  }
  function prnt()
  {
    echo "<br>a=" . $this->a;
  }
}

class B extends A
{
  function B($a, $b)
  {
    parent::A($a);
    $this->b = $b;
  }
  function prnt()
  {
    parent::prnt();
    echo "<br>b=" . $this->b;
  }
}

$obj = new B("a","b");
$obj->prnt();
