use string as function

Question

Im using a simple __call function , to dynamicly get and set my properties and im searching for a way to use something easier then this:

$setKey = "set".ucfirst($key);
$this->$setKey($foo);

is there a way to use something like

$this->"set".ucfirst($key)($foo);

Yes. You have to use braces:

$this->{"set".ucfirst($key)}($foo);
