I've done something similar with PHP, by casting an array to a string (The string "Array") and using "variable variables". If only there was a way to call functions in PHP without using letters in the code... https://gist.github.com/nubs/5849633#file-nodigitsorquotesei...

You can call a function by name:

    $foo = "file_get_contents";
    $bar = "http://example.com/";
    $baz = $foo($bar);

In PHP 7 this doesn't even require you to give the function name its own variable:

    ("file_get_contents")("http://example.com/");
