If yes, how can I ? You can make a call with variable name: $fname = "do_this_and_that"; $retval = $fname ( $args ); I don't think there will be pointers, the language has so far been able to avoid them (which is a good think for a scripting language, IMHO). And I'm not sure if this variable name trick works with object method calls. Anyway, if all else fails, there's eval() :-) Jan
