In a certain project I'm having an error trying to create a variable as a function, for example:
namespace Classes;
class Teste
{
public static function abc() { return 'teste'; }
}
Calling the function usually works:
\Classes\Teste::abc();
But when I try:
$class = "\Classes\Teste::abc";
$class();
It returns an error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function \Classes\Teste::abc()
The error in the second line because you try to call a string (return of abc() ) as a function.
If you just call the method you can use call_user_func function, the first argument being the / method and the second its arguments. To call methods with more arguments use call_user_func_array
<?php
class Teste
{
public static function abc() {
return 'teste';
}
public static function soma($a, $b){
return $a+$b;
}
}
$class = "Teste::abc";
echo call_user_func($class) .'<br>';
$str_metodo = "Teste::soma";
echo call_user_func_array($str_metodo, array(30,1));
