Dynamic php method

Question

Is it possible to create a method dynamically? For example: I have a method called "createMethod()". I would like to pass variables to this method describing how the dynamic method would look like (function description, params as an array or object). I have been trying to make something like that, bet I've got stuck at describing params and got mixed up with eval() function, that I used to form some variables.

Could someone give me a simple example how this dynamic method would look like? Maby there are something helpful already created in Zend or CodeIgniter frameworks?

Thanks!

Yes, look at __call, which catches any calls to methods that do not exist. You can make a dynamic call using $method = 'callme'; $this->$method($params). — halfer

You can find a good solution at: php create class method at runtime

Is a mix of the magic method __call and closures.

And this a post about how extending objects with new methods at runtime
