in your documentation on page http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.variable-functions.php there is a mistake with the latest example 13.4.
it says:
<?php
class Foo
{
    function Var()
    {
        $name = 'Bar';
        $this->$name(); // This calls the Bar() method
    }
    
    function Bar()
    {
        echo "This is Bar";
    }
}

$foo = new Foo();
$funcname = "Var";
$foo->$varname();   // This calls $foo->Var()

?>

The $foo->$varname(); will produce an undefined function error.
It has to be $foo->funcname();

This has been fixed:
http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/language/functions.xml

It will show up when the manual is next built, thank you for the report :)
