Question

If you do:

    $this->$this->name->something();

You will surely get an error.

I’ve been doing something like:

    $name =& $this->name;
    $this->$name->something();

But is there a better way for doing that? Would it be easier if PHP had some way of doing something like:

    $this->'$this->name'->something();

Thanks!

Answer 1

But is there a better way for doing that? Would be easier, if PHP has some way to do, something like: $this->’$this->name’->something();

There is;

$this->{$this->name}->something( );

But… what are you doing? Do you really need this? It seems like an odd construct from where I’m standing.
