variable for class name and method

[doddsey_65]

Using this locally works fine:

 

$html = $name::add_content($name, $html);

 

but i get the double colon error whe using it live.

$name is a name of a valid class.

 

What could throw this error when it works locally?

5.3.0 Changed: It's now possible to reference the class using a variable (e.g., echo $classname::constant;). The variable's value can not be a keyword (e.g., self, parent or static).

just my luck, server uses 5.2. Is there any way I could achieve the same thing?

<?php  

class myClass {
static function printWords( $w1, $w2 ) {
	echo $w1.' '.$w2;
}
}

$name = 'myClass';

call_user_func_array( array($name,'printWords'), array('hello','world') );

?>
