Q:

How to call class methods that do not exist in php?

I just want to create function just like getFieldname() that is in magento.
For Ex:
In Magento
getId() - returns value of ID field
getName() - returns value of Name field
How can I create like that function? Kindly help me in this case..
I want to do just Like Below code,
Class Called{
    $list=array();
    function __construct() {
        
        $this->list["name"]="vivek";
        $this->list["id"]="1";
    }
    function get(){
        echo $this->list[$fieldname];
    }

}

$instance=new Called();

$instance->getId();
$instance->getName();

A:

You can use the magic method __call to solved your situation
<?php
class Called
{
    private $list = array('Id' => 1, 'Name' => 'Vivek Aasaithambi');

    public function __call($name, $arguments) {
        $field = substr($name, 3);
        echo $this->list[$field];
    }
}

$obj = new Called();
$obj->getId();
echo "<br/>\n";
$obj->getName();

?>

You can read more about __call in:

http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.call

A:

Check the implementation of Varien_Object, the __call method is probably what you are looking for, I think. http://freegento.com/doc/de/d24/_object_8php-source.html
This will basically "capture" any non-existing method calls and if they are in the shape $this->getWhateverField, will try to access that property. With minor tweaks should work for your purposes.
