note 103635 added to function.method-exists

Using method_exists inside an object's __call() method can be very usefull if you want to avoid to get a fatal error because of a limit in function nesting or if you are calling methods that dont exist but need to continue in your application: <?php class Something { /** * Call a method dynamically * * @param string $method * @param array $args * @return mixed */ public function __call($method, $args) { if(method_exists($this, $method)) { return call_user_func_array(array($this, $method), $args); }else{ throw new Exception(sprintf('The required method "%s" does not exist for %s', $method, get_class($this))); } } } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 91.52.130.10 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.method-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103635 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103635/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103635/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103635/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103635/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103635/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103635/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103635 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103635 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
