Okay I am currently working on a program to check if a class exists, if not it returns a different class name, if it does though it returns the class name. This part works, however I am wanting to get it to then use the given class (in the variable) and use a function from the class. This is giving me the error:


Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/export/www/hosting/threeskulls/pindex.php on line 64


And the code in question is:

CODE
<?
$pageToInclude='main';
$data = array("page_title" => setup::title(),
"motto" => setup::motto(),
"menu" => setup::menu(),
"content" => $pageToInclude->content()
        );
?>


I thought that this should work but it just seems to give me problems, any ideas on how to make it work?

$pageToInclude is a string, it needs to be an object for you to put that off.

You either need to make use of call_user_func() or call_user_func_array() or do it like this $$pageToInclude which will use the variable $main.

Okay thanks for that, I also found out what I was doing wrong, sadly it took a while to fix and I was lost for a bit so I just used the call_user_func() function.

Here is how it should look:

CODE
<?
$pageToInclude= &New main;
$data = array("page_title" => setup::title(),
"motto" => setup::motto(),
"menu" => setup::menu(),
"content" => $pageToInclude->content()
        );
?>
