changing function names?

[dreams4000]

Hi all,

Quick question... is there any way to have a variable within a function name? like the example below...

some_$function_name ()

I have a couple of similar function names like that and I don't want to have to retype the actual name over and over when it isn't needed. Any ideas? Thanks!

You can use call_user_func or you can do something like this

$function_name = 'test';
$fn = 'some_'.$function_name;
$fn();
