Calling a php functino from within another function

[Darkmatter5]

I have one file I include with all my functions, but there is a function in which I need to call another function from within.  Meaning, I have a function that gets the sessions username from the current running sessions id.  I need to echo the output of my current_user() function in my login_tool() function.  How would I go about calling current_user() inside login_tool()?  I'm not including the code as I think I just need to know the syntax.

 

Thanks

i don't understand the problem....

function current_user ( ) {

}
function login_tool ( ) {
  current_user();
}

It gives me this error:

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function current_user()

Figured it out, just before the current_user() call I had to do this.

 

$ec = new ecabinet();

$ec->current_user();

[rhodesa]

well that's a method, not a function 

[Darkmatter5]

is this the right way to do this or do you have a suggestion as to how I should do this?

[rhodesa]

looks right, but without knowing all about ecabinet and what you are trying to do, it's hard to say. does it produce the expected results?

Yeah it's producing what I need, I just am always wanting to streamline my code. Thanks!
