..... ..... ah, the code has an error and I found more efficient way (for objects no need of string compare):

<?php class Fubar { protected function doSomething_integer_integer_double($i1,$i2,$f) { $a = func_get_args();var_dump(__METHOD__, $a); } protected function doSomething_integer_double($i,$f) { $a = func_get_args();var_dump(__METHOD__, $a); } protected function doSomething_objectFubar($fub) { $a = func_get_args();var_dump(__METHOD__, $a); } public function doSomething() { $args = func_get_args(); $method_name = __FUNCTION__; foreach ($args as $v) { $method_name .= "_".gettype($v); if (FALSE !==($c_name = get_class($v))) { $method_name .= $c_name; } } if (method_exists($this, $method_name)) { return call_user_func_array(array($this, $method_name), $args); } } }//class fubar $a = new fubar(); $a->doSomething(1, 2.0); $a->doSomething(3,4, 5.0); $a->doSomething($a); ?> OTOH hinting for array (internally) will be nice also.
