using PDO object for a Select query

Question

I am a beginner in PDO. I am following a tutorial to learning PDO. I want to use a simple select statement to fetch id of users.

but when I run index.php it dont show any echo ! where is my wrong ?

I have four files :

config => setting username and password...

DB_Connect :

class DB_Connect {

    // constructor
    function __construct() {

    }

    // destructor
    function __destruct() {
        // $this->close();
    }

    // Connecting to database
    public function connect() {
        require_once 'include/config.php';
        try {
            $hostname = DB_HOST ;
            $dbname   = DB_DATABASE;
            $dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$hostname;dbname=$dbname", DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
        }
        catch(PDOException $e)
        {
            echo $e->getMessage();
        }

        return $dbh;
    }



}

DB_Functions :

class DB_Functions {

    private $db;

    //put your code here
    // constructor
    function __construct() {
        require_once 'DB_Connect.php';
        // connecting to database
        $this->db = new DB_Connect();
        $this->db->connect();
    }

    // destructor
    function __destruct() {

    }


    function getUsers(){

        $sql = "SELECT * FROM users";
        foreach ($this->$db->query($sql) as $row)
        {
            echo $row->id;
        }

        /*** close the database connection ***/
      //  $db = null;

    }
}

        }

        /*** close the database connection ***/
      //  $db = null;

    }
}

You have no database connection because you're now assigning your PDO connection to a variable. So you're connection is not accessible to the rest of your script. At least, that's what I'm thinking at the moment.
