Adding function call?

[janet287]

Given the following code, I need to add into the logic a call to another function. I am not quite sure how to do it:

This is the function I need to call:
function courseattforblock_add_instance($courseattforblock)
$courseattforblock_CONSTANT = 7;

This is the code I need to add it into:
$course = new StdClass;
$course->{$CFG->enrol_localcoursefield} = $coursefield;
$course->fullname = $coursefield;
$course->shortname = $coursefield;
if (!($newcourseid = $this->create_course($course, true)
and $course = get_record( 'course', 'id', $newcourseid))) {
error_log( "Creating course $coursefield failed");
continue; // nothing left to do...
}

How would I add that in? Basically this code is creating a course and as the course is being created I need it to add an instance of courseattforblock, which is what that other function does.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

try store the entire code bunch to a variable then,

eval($my_code) ;

Is that any reason why you do not have a Course class and a CourseAttForBlock class and then directly instantiate objects of those classes?

To tell you that we would need more information on what the function does, what it requires as its argument and what does it return, if does have a return value. Calling the function is simple:

courseattforblock_add_instance($x);

The problem is knowing when to call it, what to pass as $x, and whether its return value should be used.

I do not think that is a solution in the first place, and even it is was, eval() is usually the wrong approach.
