PHP version: 5.2.10
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: Variable Function Request
Description:
------------
the use of constructs would be nice. i don't see a reason why i shouldn't
be able to do something like this:
$db_prefix="mysql_";
$conn_func=$db_prefix."connect";
$conn_func('localhost','example','password');
having to build wrapper functions for every construct i want to use within
a class bloats the code and makes things less manageable.
Reproduce code:
