PHP: Calling another class' method

Question

I'm still learning OOP so this might not even be possible (although I would be surprised if so), I need some help calling another classes method.

For example in ClassA I have this method:

function getName() {     return $this->name; } 

now from ClassB (different file, but in the same directory), I want to call ClassA's getName(), how do I do that? I tried to just do an include() but that does not work.

Thanks!

//file1.php <?php  class ClassA {    private $name = 'John';     function getName()    {      return $this->name;    }    } ?>  //file2.php <?php    include ("file1.php");     class ClassB    {       function __construct()      {      }       function callA()      {        $classA = new ClassA();        $name = $classA->getName();        echo $name;    //Prints John      }    }     $classb = new ClassB();    $classb->callA(); ?>
