calling class method within required/included script

[southbeach]

OK, I have three PHP scripts: index.php, common/common.php and classes/main.php

index.php is, of course, my default script/page. Here, I use

require("classes/main.php");
require("common/common.php");

$users = new users();

I also have routines where I conditionally call my class methods within index.php - These work very nicely!

The problem rises when I try to use my class methods within common/common.php. I call a function which in turn will call on class methods, same as index.php, but I get errors

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::listusers()

I am not using "public" or anything too fancy in my class methods (newbie) so, as I hit the web looking for answer, I figure I drop this question in hoping for your usual assistance.

Thanks!

Well, I decided to simply do

$users = new users();

within my function in common/common.php and I now can call my class methods. I had not done this to begin with thinking I would end-up with some sort of error for instanciating the same class multiple times.

the standard class (stdclass) has only the build in magic methods. if your class have been called Users and had that class had a (public) method of listUsers, there is no reason why the call to users::listUsers() would not work. I use something similar all the time although I abstract it through a factory class.

I've done some reading and I recall reading that ALL classes are "PUBLIC" by default so I do not "implicitly" use the public declaration.

I will give this a try and see if it makes a difference - Will report back later!
