Req #65919 [NEW]: Method of Only Execute Functions in an Array Variable When Requested

From: admin at skid dot pro Operating system: Irrelevent PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Arrays related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Method of Only Execute Functions in an Array Variable When Requested Description: ------------ I seem to be pushed into a wall where I require an array to only execute functions (in-line and in general) in an array value if it's requested. I realize that I may be able to do this via OOP and ArrayAccess, however I find it's not actually able to provide me with what I need. See the test script for an example of what I'm aiming for. Test script: --------------- <? $var = "Before"; function getVar(){ global $var; return $var; } $array = Array( "variableA" => "A: " . getVar(), "variableB" ~> "B: " . getVar() //~> in place of => ); $var = "After"; echo $array['variableA']; //Would echo 'A: Before' echo $array['variableB']; //Would echo 'B: After' ?> Expected result: ---------------- $array['variableA'] Would equal 'A: Before' $array['variableB'] Would equal 'B: After' -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65919&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65919&r=mysqlcfg
