hello,
i am using a foreach loop to show several functions. so i want to do it something like this:
Code:
foreach($fields as $k=>$v)
{
echo $this->validation->$v[0]._error;
}but this is the message i get:
Quote:Message: Use of undefined constant _error - assumed '_error
why?

nvm i used it like this:
Code:
$function_name = $v[0].'_error';
$this->validation->$function_name;using varibales as a function name - El Forum - 12-13-2007

Code:
foreach($fields as $k=>$v) { echo $this->validation->$v[0]._error; }It's because you didn't put quotes around error in the first example: $this->validation->$v[0].'_error'

actually im not sure the quotes would work
Code:
echo $this->validation->{$v[0]._error};
