Hi, I'd like to do something like this: if (method_exists($object, 'get' . ucfirst($property))) {

Untested, but I do recall having to build a temp variable first, then use it in my call. Also, if you are trying to call a method, you forgot the '()'. So... $method = 'get' . ucfirst($property); $children = $object->$method();

$children = $object->{'get' . ucfirst($property)}; }

Better yet, rearrange things a little. $method = 'get' . ucfirst($property); if ( method_exists($object, $method) ) { $children = $object->$method(); }

but this is not working unfortunately – $children is always NULL although the getter exits. Is there a another way to build a dynamic getter? Cheers, Michael
