I have a string variable
$worker_name = "video_convert"
I want to write a function with the name like the following
function video_convert(){
}
How can I do this in PHP? I tried
function eval($worker_name){
}
or
eval($worker_name) = function(){
}
But, it seems like it is not the correct way to do it in PHP.
You can do it as
$worker_name = 'video_convert';
$$worker_name = function() {
echo 'hi';
};
$$worker_name();
You could use call_user_func :
$worker_name ="video_convert"
function video_convert($text){
echo "Hello $text\n";
}
call_user_func($worker_name, 'World');
OR you could use the way you tried:
$worker_name = 'video_convert';
function video_convert(){
echo __METHOD__;
}
$worker_name();
OR like this:
$worker_name = function($text)
{
echo 'Anonymous function call '.$text
};
$worker_name('Hello');
PHP is flexible.
You can do somewhat like as
$worker_name = "video_convert";
function video_convert(){
echo "I've called a function using variable";
}
$worker_name();
If you want to use eval() function then use it by below way:-
$worker_name = "video_convert()";
function video_convert(){
echo "Called";
}
eval("$worker_name;");
