call_user_method
Synopsis
mixed call_user_method(method_name, obj[, method_parameter][, . . .]);
string method_name: Method
to be called
object obj: Object to which
the method belongs
mixed method_parameter
(optional): First argument to be passed to the
method
mixed . . . (optional):
Additional arguments to be passed to the method
Description
call_user_method() provides an alternate syntax for calling object methods. This function is primarily useful as a way to dynamically call methods at runtime without requiring eval() .
Normally, methods are called with the following syntax:
$object->method ('arg one', 'arg two', ...);
Calling the same method using call_user_method() would look like this:
call_user_method ('method', $object, 'arg one', 'arg two', ...);
Warning
call_user_method() is deprecated (as of PHP 4.0.5). call_user_func() should be used in place of this function.
The following syntax for call_user_func() duplicates the functionality of call_user_method() :
call_user_func(array(&$object, 'method'), 'arg one', 'arg two', ...)

Example
Example 100. Call a member function using call_user_method()
class banana {
var $peeled;
function banana () {
$this->peeled = FALSE;
}
function peel () {
$this->peeled = TRUE;
}
function eat () {
if ($this->peeled) {
print 'Yum!';
} else {
print 'Bleck! Ever considered peeling your bananas <i>before</i> eating them?';
}
}
}
$banana = new banana ();
call_user_method ('eat', $banana);
