I tested this functionality.

This is working fine.



foo.php

<?

function foo( $var ){

include $var.'.php';

return $var();

};



foo("somefunction");

?>

somefunction.php

<?

function somefunction(){

echo "hello";

}

?>

Out put is hello.



You make sure that your both files are in same folder and make sure that
$var.'.php' is exist with $var function.

Subject: [php] Calling functions which names are inside a variable



I am currently working on a module testing class, I can't seem to find the

correct syntax. Here is an example of the problem:



function foo( $var ){

include $var.'.php';

return $var(); // <!------- problem

};



foo("somefunction");



In other words I am looking for a way to call a function by the value of a

variable. I get a Call to undefined method error,

any help would be great..
