how to include a php function in a class? -

i have class:

class connect { public function auth() { ... } }

and have function: getfile.php

<?php require_once($globals['path']."connect.php"); ?>

the have the: connect.php

<?php function connect( $host, $database ) { database connection here } ?>

how can utilize functions within class this:

class connect {     require_once("getfile.php");     public function auth()     {         connect( $host, $database )         ... query     } }

is possible?

thanks

functions declared in global scope available globally. don't have include need it, include file function in origin of script.

secondly,

class connect {     require_once("getfile.php");     public function auth()     {         connect( $host, $database )         ... query     } }

this jibberish; can't execute within class outside of methods. if want included when specific file needed in specific method, this:

class connect {     public function auth()     {         require_once("getfile.php");         connect( $host, $database )         ... query     } }

php class function require-once
