RE: [PHP] Calling class functions using string variables?

Nevermind, I have finally figured it out... I was missing a ; in the eval statement. For anyone who wanted to know, there's 2 ways... 1) the long way $clName = "myClass"; $fuName = "myFunc"; $t = new $clName; $t->$fuName(); unset($t); 2) the short way $cl = "myClass"; $fu = "myFunc"; eval("$cl::$fu();"); -----Original Message----- From: Nick Richardson [mailto:esoteric.web@gte.net] Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 12:50 PM To: 'PHP General' Subject: [PHP] Calling class functions using string variables? Hi, Anyone know if it's possible to call a class function using 2 string variables WITHOUT instantiating the class? i.e.: $clName = "myClass"; $fuName = "myFunc"; $clName::$fuName(); I have tried several different combinations of eval and {} and just about everything else I can think of… and they all give parse errors when the class name is a string var. (i.e. myClass::$fuName() works fine (as expected) but $clName::myFunc() does not). Everytime it doesn't work, it just gives a simple parse error. Any suggested are much appreciated!
