Calling a function.

[Vincent M.]

Hello,

Is there any way to call a function with a variable inside the call. ie:

if($preferences != "") {
dis_display$$preferences() ;
}

If $preferences = "menus" this will call the function dis_displaymenus()

Thanks,
Vincent.

$functon = "dis_play$preferences";
$function();

Better still:

$functon(); // [sic]

LOL... No, you don't have to worry about that. Isn't PHP smart enough to
know what I mean??

I think the ini file has enable_smart_typist set to on by default, causes me all
types of hassles :)
