PHP Call a instance method with call_user_func within the same class

I\'m trying to use call_user_func to call a method from another method of the same object, e.g.

class MyClass
{
    public function __construct(

The code you posted should work just fine. An alternative would be to use "variable functions" like this:

public function foo($method)
{
     //safety first - you might not need this if the $method
     //parameter is tightly controlled....
     if (method_exists($this, $method))
     {
         return $this->$method('Hello World');
     }
     else
     {
         //oh dear - handle this situation in whatever way
         //is appropriate
         return null;
     }
}
