How might I define an array of methods within a PHP class? -

i need define several methods within class. methods similar, create array of method names , generate of methods array of names. don't need call methods, define them they're callable elsewhere.

i don't have define these methods way, method names set in stone.

something maybe:

class projectcontroller {     public function __construct()     {         $this->makemethods();     }      public function makemethods()     {         $methods = ['documents', 'addenda', 'docreleases', 'drawings'];          foreach($methods $m){             $method_name = 'get' . $m;              /*              * define method named $method_name on projectcontroller              * (i know statement below wrong. how might fix it? i'm i'm using '$this' incorrectly here, i'm not sure use. '$this' should reference projectcontroller.)              */              $this->$method_name = function(){                 //             }          }     } } 

this __get() magic method for. no need have getters of variable class members exist. fetch them dynamically.

public function __get($var)  {     return $this->$var; }
