# call_user_method

(PHP 3 >= 3.0.3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

call_user_method -- Call a user method on an specific object [deprecated]

## Description

mixed call_user_method ( string method_name, object &obj [, mixed parameter [, mixed ...]] )

Warning
The call_user_method() function is deprecated as of PHP 4.1.0, use the call_user_func() variety with the array(&$obj, "method_name") syntax instead.

Calls the method referred by method_name from the user defined obj object. An example of usage is below, where we define a class, instantiate an object and use call_user_method() to call indirectly its print_info method.

`<?php class Country { var $NAME; var $TLD; function Country($name, $tld) { $this->NAME = $name; $this->TLD = $tld; } function print_info($prestr = "") { echo $prestr . "Country: " . $this->NAME . "\n"; echo $prestr . "Top Level Domain: " . $this->TLD . "\n"; } } $cntry = new Country("Peru", "pe"); echo "* Calling the object method directly\n"; $cntry->print_info(); echo "\n* Calling the same method indirectly\n"; call_user_method("print_info", $cntry, "\t"); ?>`
