variable function names?

[blueman378]

hi guys i was wondering is it posasible to have a function with a variable name?

 

like

$cat1 = "abc";
function $cat1()

Hmm technically it is but you need to have a variable value that matches a function with the name,

 

<?php
function foo() {
    echo "In foo()<br />\n";
}

$func = 'foo';
$func();        // This calls foo()

 

Its not an area I am brilliant at but its in the manual under functions.
