Call a PHP function dynamically

Question

Is there a way to call a function through variables?

For instance, I want to call the function Login(). Can I do this:

$varFunction = \"Login\"; //to         


        

Answer 1

Yes, you can:

$varFunction();

Or:

call_user_func($varFunction);

Ensure that you validate $varFunction for malicious input.

For your modules, consider something like this (depending on your actual needs):

abstract class ModuleBase {
  public function main() {
    echo 'main on base';
  }
}

class ModuleA extends ModuleBase {
  public function main() {
    parent::main();
    echo 'a';
  }
}

class ModuleB extends ModuleBase {
  public function main() {
    parent::main();
    echo 'b';
  }
}

function runModuleMain(ModuleBase $module) {
  $module->main();
}

And then call runModuleMain() with the correct module instance.
