Class calling external function

PHP
1

Hi,

is it possible to attach or call a function that is not part of a class inside that class? If yes, how can we do this?

Is the function being called really a method in another class?

Well, for example…

class {

.
.
.

return fFormat($this->name);

}

function fFormat($value)
{

.
.
.

}

Do you mean like this?


function outer($text){
	return $text;
}
class Demo{
	function __construct(){
		echo outer("Hello");
	}
}
$obj = new Demo();

It prints the text “Hello”.

exact … but it doesn’t seem to work!

Thank you very much!

In OOP, you access functions from outside of the class by simply refencing them by their name.

You access the functions from within the class by preceding it with $this->.

For example:

class someClass{
    function __construct($var){
          $this->insidefunction($var);  // note the "$this->" to access inside functions
          outsidefunction($var);          // no "$this->" - function is outside class
    }
    function insidefunction($var){
          echo $var;
    }
}
function outsidefunction($var){
    echo $var;
}
