Refer to class within function?

Am I supposed to get an error when I try to access a class within a function?

E.g.:

somepage.inc.php has a class:

--------------

class myclass
{
	myclass()
	{
		return "foo";
	}
}

-------------

Having included this class on default.php, I try to access it like this...

-------------

function getdata(){
	$thisreturn = new myclass();
	return $thisreturn;
}
-------------

If an error is expected, is there any way to access a class from within a function?

Thanks for any help.
