PHP: dynamic $this->class->function

I was wondering if there is such a thing like dynamic Class and Function calling possible?

For example, I have these two operations:

$this->foo->value();

$this->bar->value();

and I would like to call it somewhat like this: 

$this->($var)->value();

right now I'm doing it this way (but would love the above methode)

if($var == 'foo')
    $this->foo->value(); 
else 
    $this->bar->value();

You almost had it.

$var = 'foo';
$this->$var->value();

Is equivalent to

$this->foo->value():

Similarly:

$var = 'bar';
$this->foo->$var();

Is equivalent to;

$this->foo->bar();
