How to call static function defined in variable?

Question

I'm writing my own MVC framework, and i need to call static function
I have routing defined in ini file like this

[someAction]
route[] = /someroute
layout = layoutname
action[] = someAction@SomeController

after matching routing im using explode() function to split action and controller

$action = explode('@', $this->_action); 
//$this->_action = someAction@SomeController

and now I wanna call

$action[1]::$action[0]();

But php thinks that I wanna call static field instead of method, can somebody tell me how to call it as method ?

Possibly something like $a = new $action[1](); $a->$action[0](); — Jonathon

Have a look at forward_static_call php.net/manual/en/function.forward-static-call.php or call_user_func php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func.php I'm sure you'd find your answer in any one of these functions. — Basit

Easier would be to switch the "controller" and the "action" so you can just call $action() eval.in/181257 — PeeHaa

You can use call_user_func()

Try this :

call_user_func(array($action[1],$action[0]));

edit : depending of your PHP version, PeeHaa's comment is a good idea !

You can call it this way:

<?php

    list($action, $controller) = explode('@', $this->_action);
    $controller::$action();

?>
