Hi paul, Why you are trying to use the scope resolution operator see you can use this way simply. Code: ****** <?php class foobar { function bar2 () { echo "Yep, in bar2() right now\n"; } public function foo2 () { $a = "bar2"; // Experiment 0 $a(); // Fatal error } } $foo = new foobar(); $funname = "bar2"; $foo->$funname(); ?> -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Function-variables-in-classes-tf4730655.html#a13545465 Sent from the PHP - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
