Re: evaluating a variable

Hey, I have stored the name of a function as a variable. I have then passed the variable to another function as follows: //put function name in a variable $contentfunction = “newsadmincontent()”;

Take off the parenthesis... $contentfunction = 'newsadmincontent'; To call the function, you simply use: $contentfunction(); Which will call the "newsadmincontent" function. $contentfunction = 'newsadmincontent'; html_function($contentfunction); function html_function($func_name) { echo "You requested to execute the function: $func_name."; echo 'The output of the function is: ' . $func_name(); } -- ---John Holmes...
