call_user_method

Call a user method on an specific object [deprecated] (PHP 3>= 3.0.3, PHP 4 )
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");
?>
