Question

I have two classes, one of them is a configuration class. Inside of this class I have a variable called “theme”. This is called config::theme . I have another class, but I can’t be sure on the name as It’s theme dependant. For instance, if the PHP sites theme is set to “nebula”, I need to access the nebula theme, e.g: nebula::navigation . The farthest I’ve gotten is:

public static function nav( ) {
    $temp = config::theme;

    return eval( $temp . "::navigation" );
}

which outputs the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected
$end in
C:\Dropbox\Colzdragon\Colzdragon\Site\internal\theme.php(54)
: eval()’d code on line 1

Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can do this using PHP 5.3. See the first example on this manual page:

public static function nav() {
    $theme = config::$theme;
    return $theme::$navigation;
}
