calling class help needed.

[spires]

Hi

 

How do I turn this:

if($LCname=='Business_solutions'){
 $newChild  = Business_solutions::find_by_id(1);
}

 

In to something like this:

$newChild  = $LCname::find_by_id(1);

 

 

I'm calling lots of class's, and want to make it more dynamic.

The 2nd example would be perfect, but that does not work.

 

Is there an alternative?

 

Thanks

call_user_func

if (in_array($LCname, array("Business_solutions"))) { // for security
    $newChild = call_user_func($LCname . "::find_by_id", 1);
}

Hi, Thanks for your help.

 

I've not come across that before.

 

I'm trying:

if (in_array($LCname, array("Business_solutions_cat"))) { // for security
    $newChild = call_user_func($LCname . "::find_by_id", 1);
foreach($newChild as $newChilds){
	echo $newChilds->id;
}
}

 

but nothing is echoing. Am I missing some code?

 

Thanks

Maybe. What does

print_r(Business_solutions_cat::find_by_id(1));

output?
