Calling a static function.

[PaowZ]

Hello there!

I have to call a bunch of static functions where class names are
stored in a array.
So I have: $my_array = array("class_1" ,"class_2", ... and so on...)

So I tried this piece of code to call static functions attached to
each classes like that:

foreach($my_arr ay as $classname)
$classname::MyS taticFunc(...);

...and I get this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKU DOTAYIM (by the way, if someone could tell me what
language is T_PAAMAYIM_NEKU DOTAYIM..) PHP5 can't do it magically..

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks..

The T_PAAMAYIM_NEKU DOTAYIM is the '::'. For calling a method with a
variable class name use call_user_func( ) instead:

call_user_func( array($classnam e, 'MyStaticFunc') );

Thanks for replying so quickly.. :)

Concerning the error name, yes, google just told me it was hebrew..
ok, I try out call_user_func right away..
Thanks again :)
