Description: Unable to reference functions inside a class via "Variable Funcitons"

I modified the code like this:

<?

function xyz() {

        echo "This always works";
}

class test {

        function testfunc() {

                echo "This now works";
        }

        function calltest() {

                $function_name = 'test::testfunc';

                $function_name();

        }
}

$t = new test;
$t->calltest();

?>

I got the exact same error. I just don't think it can find functions inside a class.

i do believe you need to declare the function testfunc() BEFORE you try to reference it. try that and see if it works.

When I run this script I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: test::testfunc() in
/var/www/html/database/classes/Authenticator/test.php on line 9

I can execute the function by using test::testfunc();
directly, but not by using "Variable Functions". I can also
change $function_name to be 'xyz' and it then works.

<?

class test {

        function calltest() {

                $function_name = 'test::testfunc';

                $function_name();

        }

        function testfunc() {

                echo "This now worksn";

        }
}

function xyz() {

        echo "This always worksn";
}

$t = new test;
$t->calltest();

?>
