adding to the name of the function some php variable

Question

I have a function called check_nickname() And I want to write something like this

$ttt='nickname';
check_.$ttt();

How can I do it correct ?

What do you want the function to actually do? What do you have so far? — Griffin

I'll have several functions but will call them with a single line depending on the input — David

I would advise against that.

this will produce unmaintainable and undebuggable code.

I'd make one function which does all the verifications.

I think you are right. Despite the fact that this method will work I'll try to make one for all.

Create a variable that holds the function name, and apply parentheses to it:

$ttt='nickname';
$funcname = 'check_'.$ttt;
$funcname();

You would need to create another variable, such as $a = "check_".$ttt;, then call $a();

$ttt = 'nickname';
$your_function = 'check_' . $ttt;

$your_function();
