Question

So I got this code:

class DAO
{
    private $_connect = "oci_connect";

    function Conect()
    {
        $connect = $this->$_connect;
        $connect($user, $pass, $conStr);
    }
}

It works well. PHP recognizes the function stored in the object attribute, but there’s a way to simplify like this:

class DAO
{
    private $_connect = "oci_connect";

    function Conect()
    {
        $this->_connect($user, $pass, $conStr);
    }
}

I want to use the object attribute instead to stock it on another variable to use it as a function. In this case PHP think that is an object method and not a variable. It’s possible to do it in other way?

Answer 1

Try something like this:

call_user_func_array(array($this, $this->_connect), array($user, $pass, $conStr));
