I have created my callback system, and it is working like that: class Foo { function sum($a, $b) { return $a + $b; } } $staticCB = new Callback("Foo", "sum"); echo $staticCB->execute(array(5, 3)); // should result '8' $myFoo = new Foo(); $instanceCB = new Callback($myFoo, "sum"); echo $instanceCB->execute(array(2, 4)); // should result '6' function mySum($a, $b) { return $a + $b;} $funcCB = new Callback(null, "mySum"); echo $funcCB->execute(array(1, 2)); // should result '3' I want, you make possible to specify SCOPES, without dummy walkarounds like strings or variables, so make this possible: $staticCB = new Callback(Foo::sum); $instanceCB = new Callback($myFoo->sum); $funcCB = new Callback(mySum); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=14404&edit=1
