How can i get access to static method through variable?

Question

Trying to get

$class = 'MyClass';
$class::classname() - MyClass not found

So, is it possible? Or are there other options?

public function actionMultiUpdate($module)
{
    if (isset($_REQUEST['multiedit']) && count($_REQUEST['multiedit'])) {
        foreach ($_REQUEST['multiedit'] as $id => $data) {
            $model = $module::findOne($id);
            $model->weight = $data['weight'];
            $model->save();
        }
    }
}

You can use call_user_func to run a static method with the string class name. For example:

class Myclass
{

    public static function classname() {
        return __CLASS__;
    }
}

$class = 'MyClass';
echo call_user_func([$class, 'classname']);

Also if you want to pass variables into a static method you should pass them in the second parameter. For example:

class MyClass
{
    public static function doSomething($value1, $value2)
    {
        return $value1 . ' and ' . $value2;
    }
}

$class = 'MyClass';
echo call_user_func([$class, 'doSomething'], 'first value', 'second value');
