Calling Controllers Functions with function name in a php variable - El Forum - 11-29-2007

Hi all...

I've a problem:

i have a variable named backpergest2 that contains the name of a function of my controller.
The idea is that i'm in a controller function and i've to call another controller function (backpergest2=name of controller function that i've to call)...

i've tried this code:

$this->$backpergest2;

but php shows me the following error:

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: Tmfmagenta::$visualizzaprocspec()

Filename: controllers/tmfmagenta.php

Line Number: 18103

as u can see the name of the function that i've to call is visualizzaprocspec() and it is also the content of the variable $backpergest2.

what can i do?

thanks a lot, and greetings from italy Smile

Matteo

PS: the function visualizzaprocspec() exist in the controller.

I tried somthing similar as a test for you and it worked.. create a controller called test.php copy the code and give it a go!

Code:
&lt;?php

class Test extends Controller {

  function Test() 

  {

    parent::Controller();

  }

  function start($func='myname')

  {

    echo "hello";

    $this->$func();

  }

  function myname()

  {

    echo " gtech";

  }

}

?&gt;

result

Code:
hello gtech

Or are you trying to do something different? you may just have a typo (typing error) somewhere.
