I know its possible to access an object property/method using a variable as its name
ex.:
$propName = 'something';
$something = $object->$propName;
Is it possible to do the same w/ constants or static properties?
I've tried:
$constName = 'MY_CONST';
MyCLass::{$constName};
and
$obj::{$constName};
But nothing seems to work and I couldn't find it anywhere.
Use: Class::$$constName
, this is similar to normal variable variables.
Demo:
<?php
class MyClass {
public static $var = 'A';
}
$name = 'var';
echo MyClass::$$name; // echoes 'A'
Constants can be access with the constant
function:
constant('MyClass::'.$constantName)
This works for me:
<?php
class Test {
public static $nombre = "pepe";
public function __construct() {
return self;
}
}
$varName = "nombre";
echo Test::${$varName};
You can use the constant function:
constant('bar::'. $const);
constant("$obj::". $const); //note the double quote
