[SOLVED] tricky php question

[rsalumpit]

$POINT = "foobar";

Function foobar($how_bar);

{

Echo  "not just foobar, $how_bar  foobar.";

}

 

How can you call the function foobar("really"); without directly calling the function foobar. Hint (use $POINT );

 

my answer is this but i dont think is correct

echo $POINT.'("really");';

Whoops, my fault. I read that wrong.. I'm tired it's after 4am  Use Eval()

 

Here's an example:

 

<?php
$function = 'foobar';
function foobar()
{
echo 'foobar';
}
eval($function . '();');
?>

You don't need to use eval:

 

$POINT = "foobar";
Function foobar($how_bar)
{
    Echo  "not just foobar, $how_bar  foobar.";
}

$POINT('really');

 

However, next time you have a homework question, I suggest you present it as such. People will still help you, as long as you're not after a direct solution.
