php - How to call a function of a class from other function file? -

i know thats not best title question coulnd't come better 1 (suggestions welcome)

well, situation, have 3 files:

1) classdbconn.php - in file connect db , have functions this:

class dbconn{ var $conexion; private $querysql; var $respuesta; var $resultado; function __construct() {      $this->conexion = @mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'pass', 'database');     if(!$this->conexion){         die('error de conexion('.mysqli_connect_errno().')'.mysqli_connect_error());         } } function checkbracketganador($id_torneo){     $this->querysql = "select count(id_ganador) brackets id_torneo = '$id_torneo'";     $this->respuesta = mysqli_query($this->conexion,$this->querysql);     $this->resultado = mysqli_fetch_array($this->respuesta);     return $this->resultado[0]; } // more functions queries 

note: queries , functions fine

2)inc_conf.php - in file create session , object dbconn. code:

session_start(); include('classdbconn.php'); $functionsdbconn= new dbconn(); $id_usuario = isset($_session["idusuario"]) ? $_session["idusuario"] : false; 

3) workingon.php - in file make calls dbconn in order use queries. if call fine:

$res = $functionsdbconn->checkbracketganador($id_torneo); echo $res; 

but, if inside function goes wrong

function test(){     $res = $functionsdbconn->checkbracketganador($id_torneo);     return $res; } $a = test(); echo $a; 

i keep getting error:

fatal error: call member function checkbracketganador() on non-object in .../somefolder/workingon.php on line 67

i've tried making public functions in classdbconn didn't work

what i'm doing calling function outside function , sending result parameter other function thats want avoid

any appreciate. in advance.

this scope.

i assume instantiate $functionsdbconn = new dbconn(); outside function @ same level as

$a = test(); 

if have 2 options

one:

function test(){     global $functionsdbconn;     $res = $functionsdbconn->checkbracketganador($id_torneo);     return $res; }  $functionsdbconn = new dbconn(); $a = test(); echo $a; 

two:

function test(&$functionsdbconn){     $res = $functionsdbconn->checkbracketganador($id_torneo);     return $res; } $functionsdbconn = new dbconn(); $a = test($functionsdbconn); echo $a; 

basically have make object instantiated visible within scope of test() function either telling test() function available within global scope global $functionsdbconn; or passing function parameter.

you make checkbracketganador() static method lets not complex in rush.
