[RESOLVED] I need help with eval() help!

[ppowell]

		 $html .= $this->searchHandler->displayInternsListHTML($result, '', 'isFromSearchPerformer'); // THIS WORKS

	 if (method_exists('display' . ucfirst($section) . 'ListHTML', $this->searchHandler))
	 eval('$html .= $this->searchHandler->display' . ucfirst($section) . 'ListHTML($result, \'\', \'isFromSearchPerformer\');'); // THIS FAILS

I unfortunately MUST do the latter because the SearchHandler class will have any number of dynamically generated methods that can be named according to the value of $section, which can be almost anything on earth. Needless to say that unless I want to list hardcoded PHP lines that have to be manually updated each time $section is changed, I would prefer the latter, however, it fails.

Please help, time sensitive issue, must be up and running by Monday!

Thanx
Phil

Sorry for continuing to pre-solve my own goofups, but I did it again! 🙂

What I had to do was to take the contents of SearchHandler::displayInternsListHTML() and SearchHandler::displayContactsListHTML() and move them into a new class, ListView, which happens to now be an object property of SearchHandler, so I wind up doing this:

if (method_exists($this->searchHandler, 'display' . ucfirst($section) . 'ListHTML')) 
 eval('$html .= $this->searchHandler->display'. ucfirst($section) . 'ListHTML($result, \'\', \'isFromSearchPerformer\');');

class SearchHandler extends MethodGeneratorForActionPerformer {

 function displayInternsListHTML($result, $willShowAllInfo, $isFromSearchPerformer) {
  return $this->list->displayInternsListHTML($result, $willShowAllInfo, $isFromSearchPerformer, $this);
 }

}

class ListView extends PagOptionsView {

 function &displayInternsListHTML($result, $willShowAllInfo, $isFromSearchPerformer, $searchHandlerObj) {
  // DO STUFF
 }

}

You're an amazing creature if you could keep up with that.
