(not sure it's clearer ?) It's as clear as the first try, still, it does not need an instantiated object. but just a classname, see this example: <?php class foo { function method($p1) { echo "$p1\n"; } }; $f = 'foo'; call_user_func(array($f, 'method'), 'foo'); ?> (prints 'foo') > And keep an access to $this from inside the object calling the external > method because my parsing is actually recursive. $this only works for instanciated classes, not static method calls.
