Will it be supported ? This would allow >> >>> call_user_func(array($className, 'method'), $param1, $param2); >> >> This won't work because, in my case, I don't want to make an instance of >> $className but rather use $className methods as if they were plugged inside >> my main object. > > This doesn't make an instance at all. Sorry, I didn't choose the right way to explain. :) I meant that call_user_func needs an instanciated object which I can't provide as what I really want to do is use a method from a class, not from an instanciated object. (not sure it's clearer ?) And keep an access to $this from inside the object calling the external method because my parsing is actually recursive. For an example of my current code, you can have a look at Container.php in the Config package of PEAR (in CVS only). I am having hard time to figure out what would be the best way to implement this in PHP.
