[PHP] calling static class functions using a function variable
Hi all, Hope you can help. I have an class called xml and a class method called hi_handler. I am able to call this method statically as follows: xml::hi_handler($attrs); but when I try to call it like this, it fails miserably: $junk="xml::hi_handler"; $junk(); Fatal error: Call to undefined function: xml::hi_handler() Any ideas - besides the obvious way of using a dummy instance. I am using php 4.0.3pl1 Thanks, Shaun -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] calling static class functions using a function variable
Well, essentially, a static class method is a method that can be called without any instances of the class. It's just a nice way to group functions for your class. Check out chapter 13 of the php manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php "Static class methods are apparently supported in php v4.02"... using :: notation.

Re: [PHP] XML parsing without the PHP4 XML functions
Wddx may also be an option. That would allow you to serialize the xml into php variables so that you could use them in your example. But if your provider won't compile xml in, I doubt you'll be able to get wddx.
