We have a small mvc we have built, we want to access models from different controllers.

i.e

class Controller {
    function A() {
    }
}

class Search extends Controller {
    function B() {
        $this->model->doSomething();    
    }
}

class Profile extends Controller {
    function B() {
        ***** HERE ***** ?????????????????????????????????????????????
        Search::doSomething();
    }
}

class Model {

}

class search_model extends Model {     
    public function doSomething() {
        // Do Something
        echo "doing something";
    }
}

class profile_model extends Model { 
    public function getProfile() {
        // Get Profile
        echo "getting profile";
    }
}

I want to access when in the Profile Controller the Search Controller function doSomething() if you can see like the HERE section or something along them lines?

Just include the model in the other controller. THere is nothing wrong with acessing the same model from several controllers

Controller is the parent class of both Search and Profile, so you can add a function you can re-use for both. 

class Controller {

    public $model;

    public function doSomething() {
        if($this->model === null)
        {
            $this->model = new search_model();
        }
        return $this->model->doSomething();
    }
}
