Call on a class method dynamically inside a class, like variable function

[Mgccl]

variable functions ,like this

$somefunc = 'rand'
$somefunc(0,1);

output either 0 or 1

 

But it does not work on classes, like

class coolclass{
var $somefunc = 'rand';
}
$cool = new coolclass;
$cool->somefunc(0,1);

it tell you an error, say there is no such method defined. of course this can be simplely defeated in my next example:

class coolclass{
var $somefunc = '$this->got_called';
}
function call_func(){
$a = $this->somefunc;//$this->got_called;
$a();
}
function got_called(){
echo 'yeeeah';
}
$cool = new coolclass;
$cool->call_func();

This one uses a method, even it does not call on a function by using a variable function directly, it uses a variable to store the function name, so it is good too . But this time, it is calling a method in the class, and it does not work.

Any suggestions on how to call a class method like a variable function inside a class?

 

I saw one can do it outside a class.

I think it's a lot simpler than your making it. Try something like this:

 

class randNum {

  function genRand($rand1,$rand2) {

      $rand = rand($rand1,$rand2);

      return $rand;

  }

}

 

$randClass = new randNum;

$randNum = $randClass->genRand(0,1);

echo $randNum;

 

OR

 

if you wanted to have a set top or bottom you would do this:

 

class genRand {

  var $randTop;

 

  #constructor

  function genRand() {

      $this->randTop = 1;

  }

 

  function genRand($randBottom) {

      $rand = rand($randBottom,$this->randTop);

      return $rand;

  }

}

 

$randClass = new genRand;

$randNum = $randClass->genRand(0);

echo $randNum;

 

 

Hope that helps
