RE: [PHP] Variable (naming them) Functions. DONE! DONE! DONE!

Guys, I think LORD just looked down here in Tokyo, seen me still typing at 3.15am of Friday night, smoking the third pack of that nasty Marlboros, having no dinner, with no even a cup coffee remained... and sent to the list that GENIUS of Jason Murray who solved my problem. I know, Jason, you didn't mean it, but it REALLY helped me: $fname = 'hello'; $func = sprintf( "function %s(\$v='') { Return \"\$v<BR>\"; }", $fname ); eval($func); echo $fname('Please print it.... please....'); // And it did! a dynamic function! I got it. with eval() I can call it as I wish! I have no idea, HOW ON THE EARTH could I ever forget about magic EVAL(). I solved it! Everyone, take a note of this code, as it causes some sleepless nights and 'unhappy' girlfriends to some people. :-) Thanks everybody, Jason and Oliver in particular!
