Call method by name using an attribute value as methodname php

Firstly here is a code example which works:

<?php
class Foo
{
    private $name = "test";

    public function __construct()
    {
        $name = $this->name;
        $this->$name();
    }

    function test()
    {
        echo "test";
    }
}
$foo = new Foo();
?>

Now, my question is: Is it possible to directly use the artribute name of the class Foo to call the method test without creating a new variable like this:

<?php
class Foo
{
    private $name = "test";

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->$name();
    }

    function test()
    {
        echo "test";
    }
}
$foo = new Foo();
?>

Looking forward for your answers, Heeiiigou

Wrap it in {} like so:

function __construct() {
    $this->{$this->name}();
}
