function exists

how can i check if function exists in CI

i did

Code:

if(function_exists($this->direction))

also,

Code:

if(function_exists('direction'))

none of them worked

on the previous one it says undefined property direction

second one returns false

i searched the forum couldn't find the solution.

i am not that much into classes, so get hard time, sometimes

For checking if a particular method exists in some object, try to use method_exists() function:


http://php.net/method_exists

Yes, you could try

if (method_exists($this->somename, some_function))

Thanks it worked

Code:

function _remap($method)
    {
        $method = str_replace('-', '_', $method);
        
        if (method_exists($this,$method)) {
            $this->$method();
        } else {
            $this->index();
        }
    }

may not be the best method that i am trying to do, but it still works.
