variable in function

I am using the google translate class, and need to create a dynamic function name. what I have now is throwing an error:

this is the error it is outputting:

any recommendations?

 

you need a semi-colon after the "spannish"
$language = "spannish"; //subject to dynamic change
Also, it's Spanish (1 n)

 

$language = "spanish"; //subject to dynamic change
$final_string = call_user_func(array($gt, "english_to_{$language}"), $value);

PHP:

 

hey nico swd

I plugged this in :

and got this error message when trying to run. Does this have to do with $gt?

 

try doing this....

$language = "spannish" //subject to dynamic change
eval('\$final_string = \$gt->enlgish_to_'.$language.'(\$value)');

that should give you what you want.

 

Stay away from eval() whenever possible.

Try this:

$language = "spanish"; //subject to dynamic change
$function = "english_to_{$language}";

if (method_exists($gt, $function))
{
    $final_string = call_user_func(array($gt, "english_to_{$language}"), $value);
}
else
{
    exit('Language not supported');
}

PHP:

 

Hey guys, still no dice:

throws this error:

and

tells me the language is not supported, and if I use the code:

$c = $gt->english_to_spannish("$a");

I get results

 

Check the spelling. $language holds "spanish", and your function is called "spannish" (which is incorrect spelling, by the way). My first code should work just fine...

 

Your code works right, I just had to instantiate the $gt variable, I had not done it yet. final code:

Thank you nico_swd!

 

You're welcome.
