From: moonlightcheese at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu PHP version: 5.2.10 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Variable Function Request
Description: ------------ the use of constructs would be nice. i don't see a reason why i shouldn't be able to do something like this: $db_prefix="mysql_"; $conn_func=$db_prefix."connect"; $conn_func('localhost','example','password'); having to build wrapper functions for every construct i want to use within a class bloats the code and makes things less manageable.
