PHP 4.0 Bug #7728 Updated: Dynamic function names

ID: 7728 User Update by: ignacio@openservices.net Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Description: Dynamic function names Umm...no. That attempts to call $ABC123(), which is not the same thing. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-09 11:14:52] derick@php.net You can use: ${$abc."123"} note the curly braces. So there is no need for this "feature". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-09 11:05:19] ignacio@openservices.net The following works: """ $abc="ABC"; $t=$abc."123"; $t(); // Calls ABC123() """ but there's no obviously apparent reason that: """ $abc="ABC"; ($abc."123")(); // Calls ABC123() """ shouldn't work the same way. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7728
