Call class function from within another function?

[robbiesmith79]

Hey fellow nerds,

Take this code for example:

class hello {
function world() {
echo "Hello";
}
}

$hello = new hello();

function writeHelloWorld() {
$hello->world();
}

writeHelloWorld();

I get this error

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in (points to
"$hello->world();" line)

Why is this?

Because $hello is not in scope within the function writeHelloWorld

It's bad scope.
You could do (bad way):
--------------------------------

$hello = new hello();

function writeHelloWorld() {
global $hello;
$hello->world();
}

--------------------------------

or (good way):

--------------------------------

$hello = new hello();

function writeHelloWorld($hello) {
$hello->world();
}

writeHelloWorld($hello);
--------------------------------

// Typehint to make sure
// that method world() is available
function writeHelloWorld( hello $hello )
{
$hello->world();
}

Greetings,

Either that, or depending on the need:

class hello{
static function world(){
echo "Hello";
}
}
function writeHelloWorld(){
hello::world();
}
