hi all, how can i call static methods of a class whose name is variable.. something like <? $className::doSomething(); // throws a parser error ?> I can do this with reflection by creating a ReflectionMethod object then invoke()ing it, but is there a better way?
try call_user_func() and/or call_user_func_array() e.g. call_user_func( array($className, 'doSomething') ); the array passed in this case is how one tells php the callback function you are handing it is a class+method, you can also use this callback notation to pass in an object+method.
