Calling class method of variable class.

[Rik]

Yes, it's the week of OO here in c.l.php

If I want to call the method a class (not an object), one normally uses:
classname::meth od();
which works fine.

However, what if I don't know the classname yet?
$classname::met hod();
doesn't work, neither does
{$classname}::m ethod();

I've got solved it like this now:
call_user_func( array($classnam e,'method'));

But I really wonder wether this is a good way to do it.
