Description:
------------
It isn't posible to make a call to a static function in a class if you dont no the name of the class while you making the script:

  class gfx_tagHandler_img {

  	public static function isSupported() { return true;}

  }

  $test = "gfx_tagHandler_img";

  echo {$test}::isSupported();



I was expecting that:

  echo {$test}::isSupported();

was translated to:

  echo gfx_tagHandler_img::isSupported();

but is wasn't


can this be an feature for PHP?

tnx.

Use reflection API

http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.reflection.php

look at ReflectionClass::getMethod(string method_name) and then
ReflectionMethod::invoke()
