Unknown function

I have a script called ranking.php. I call this script at the top of another script (headtohead.php) as follows:

include("ranking.php");

Within the ranking script, there is a function called 'win'. In the headtohead.php script, I have a function with the following:

global $form, $database, $foottour, $ranking;

And then within the function itself:

$newHomePoints = $ranking->win($homePoints, $homescore, $awayscore, ($homeStar - $awayStar));

I am getting the error saying that the function 'win' on the line where it's called is unknown?

is $ranking an instance of class? if not you should use $ranking = new "name of class here"(); Can you post the source of ranking.php?

you can try to call the method only if exists:

if (method_exists('win', $ranking)) {
    $newHomePoints = $ranking->win($homePoints, $homescore, $awayscore, $homeStar - $awayStar);
}

$ranking->win(...) is calling a method on an object. Is the win function in ranking.php actually a method within a class? If it's a standalone function then you have to call it as a standalone function.
