Can a function be called from a function?

[Bruce W...1]

Can a function in a class be called from another function? I create a
class object and call a method which calls another method in the same
class and I get erors.

class Nice
{
function getHi()
{
$greet = sayHi();
return $greet;
}

function sayHi()
{
return "Hi there from db.";
}
}

$greeting = new Nice()
$test = $greeting->getHi();
echo $test;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: sayhi()

And yes I tried ->
$greet = this->sayHi(); too.

Why woun't this work? Or is this beyond the abilities of the PHP
scripting language?

Thanks for your help?

^^^^^
$this->sayHi();

Seems to be ok except that there is no constructor in your class.

$greeting = new Nice() needs a ;

$greet = $this->sayHi();

like this, the code works for me, even though there is still no
constructor.
