Variable as static function

Question

I have a class Sections:

class Sections {
    public static function get($name) {
        //
    }
}

And I would like to call the static function get() from it with a variable (http://php.net/manual/en/functions.variable-functions.php):

$section = 'Sections::get';
$section('body');

But it gives me a Fatal error: Call to undefined function Sections::get()

Is it possible to call a static function in this way?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You need to store the class separately from the method:

$class = 'Sections';
$method = 'get';

Now you can call it like this:

$class::$method('body');
