Description

mixed call_user_method ( string method_name, object obj [, mixed parameter [, mixed ...]])

Warning

The call_user_method() function is deprecated as of PHP 4.1.0, use the call_user_func() variety with the array(&$obj, "method_name") syntax instead.

Calls the method referred by method_name from the user defined obj object. An example of usage is below, where we define a class, instantiate an object and use call_user_method() to call indirectly its print_info method.


<?php

class Country {

    var $NAME;

    var $TLD;

    

    function Country($name, $tld) 

    {

        $this->NAME = $name;

        $this->TLD = $tld;

    }



    function print_info($prestr = "") 

    {

        echo $prestr . "Country: " . $this->NAME . "\n";

        echo $prestr . "Top Level Domain: " . $this->TLD . "\n";

    }

}



$cntry = new Country("Peru", "pe");



echo "* Calling the object method directly\n";

$cntry->print_info();



echo "\n* Calling the same method indirectly\n";

call_user_method("print_info", $cntry, "\t");

?>
