Question

I want to be able to create methods within __construct

I tried using lambda in the following way

// This is what I am trying to achieve as an end result
class A extends Z{
    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct()
    }

    public function myfunc() { // do something }
}


// This was an attempt to implement it
class A extends Z{
    public function __construct() {
        //example
        if ($something_is_true) {
            $this->myfunc = function () {}
        }
        parent::__construct()
    }
}

I hope this explains what I am trying to achieve

EDIT

I have URLs mapped to functions, and I want to have some logic to determine what URL-mapped-functions exist on the class

Don’t think that’s possible. But another way to dynamically ‘create’ methods within a class is to use the magic __call() method.

With this method implemented, any attempt to call a non-existent method on an object will call the __call() method instead. The first parameter passed in will be the name of the function that the user called, and the second parameter will be the arguments.

See the manual for further details.
