[PHP] evaluating a variable

[Carey Baird]

Hey,
 
I have stored the name of a function as a variable. I have then passed the
variable to another function as follows:
 
//put function name in a variable
$contentfunction = “newsadmincontent()”;
 
//pass variable to another function
Html_content($contentfunction);
 
//function is:
function html_content($contentfunction)
{
?>
                                                
  <tr> 
    <td colspan="2" valign="top">
            <table width="100%" height="390" border="1" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#666666" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
        <tr> 
                        <td valign="top">
                        <?
                        $contentfunction; //doesn’t work
                        Echo $contentfunction; //outputs the name of the
function but does not evaluate it
                        Echo “<? “.$contentfunction.” ?>”; //outputs <?
Newsadmincontent() ?> but does not evaluate it
                         ?>
                         </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
                                                
<?
}
 
 
This does seem like a simple question but I cannot find any information to
help me. Can anyone tell me how to get the function to be executed here?
 
Thanks
Carey
