why this error?

This is my first "class" algorithm: when i execute it, i get this
error:

<<Fatal error: Call to undefined function: sum() in d:\class.php on
line 20>>

what's wrong? The class has the function, so why it says undefined?
<?php
print("first time class");
class somma
{
var $uno=10;
var $due=15;
var $tre=15;
function sum($uno, $due, $tre)
{
$totale = $uno + $due + $tre;
return($totale);
}
function sum_2()
{
$totale = $this->sum($this->uno, $this->due, $this->tre);
return $totale;
}
}
$sum=sum(34,40);
print("$sum");
?>

Hi vinnie,

you have declared sum function inside the somma class, and you're
trying to use it outside the class scope. This will not work.

First you should create an instance of somma and then call the sum
function using "->" operator.
Example:
[snip]
$mySomma = new somma();
$sum=$mySomma->sum(34,40);
print("$sum");
[/snap]

When using objects, you have to "create" them using the "new" keyword.
So consider a class a demarcation of what makes up an object, with
references to that demarcation being stored in the $variable that was
used to create the object.

Consider:

<code>
<h4>Somma object test class</h4>
<p>Print a sum from the Somma class</p>
<pre>
<?php

class Somma {
var $totale = 0;
var $tre = 15;
// Php4 constructor, "makes" object and
// returns a reference to the object in
// memory, to be stored in the $variable
// that is = new Somma($uno, $due);
function Somma($uno, $due) {
$this->totale = $uno + $due + $this->tre;
}
}
// $variable stores reference to object in
// memory
$variable = new Somma(34,40);
echo $variable->totale . "\n\n";
// Let's look at the object
print_r($variable);

?>
</pre>
</code>

Note the use of $this-and $variable in the different scopes ($this->
is used inside the class, $variable is used to refer to the object's
methods and properties, which are called $variable->Somma(85,98);

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
print("$sum");

I've marked the failing line. This line tries to call a global sum()
function with two arguments. This is a valid error; no such function
exists in the system, and you haven't defined one in the global scope.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do here, so I hesitate to
give you more advice and possibly lead you astray.
