Php call static method of class which is in variable

Question

I have a namespace App\Term which is saved as a property: $this->name = 'App\Term'. How can I call a static method of this class like $this->name::methodName() ? Or is there another solution for this problem?

I updated the question. It should be not a simple variable like $name. It is a property: $this->name — FreeLightman

You can use call_user_func for this.

call_user_func($name.'::methodName');

Or:

call_user_func(array($name, 'methodName'));

Perfect. I works even with property: call_user_func($this->name.'::methodName');
