Call method by string?

Question

Class MyClass{
  private $data=array(\'action\'=>\'insert\');
  public function insert(){
    echo \'called insert\';
  }

  public function run(){
    $this->         


        

Answer 1

Try:

$this->{$this->data['action']}();

You can do it safely by checking if it is callable first:

$action = $this->data['action'];
if(is_callable(array($this, $action))){
    $this->$action();
}else{
    $this->default(); //or some kind of error message
}
