Answer 1

You can access same class function using $this keyword

at line 131 replace

reverse_list_iteratively($current->next);

with

$this->reverse_list_iteratively($current->next);

Explanation

reverse_list_iteratively() is a class function(and its not static), so you need object to access this function, for same class you can access with $ this keyword

Answer 2

your call is done with no parameter:

$list->reverse_list_recursively();

and your definition takes 1 parameter:

public function reverse_list_recursively($current = NULL)

I am suspecting that this could be issue.

Answer 3

in this case you have defined the function with an argument but you are passing nothing so it is finding the argument. you can try this

echo "Reversing the list rec";
$list->reverse_list_recursively(0);
$list->print_list();
echo "\n";
