Re: Object method as handler functions in PHP4/Zend

I think you could do that in PHP 3.0, but if you > couldn't, you can do it using PHP 4.0. I may have an example that will illustrate the point in question: class foo { function mysort ($a, $b) { // blah } function dostuff ($stuffarray) { $sorted = usort($stuffarray, '$this->mysort'); } } I couldn't find anything that would work as the second argument to usort; I had to make mysort() a global routine. I take it in php4, you'll at least be able to put 'foo::mysort' as the second argument. However, if mysort() references class variables (ie, it's not a static method - in the java sense, at least), will there be a way to use a reference to a specific object's mysort function? Manuel, is this what you were referring to? -chuck -- Charles Hagenbuch, <chagenbu@wso.williams.edu> -- "whatever is wrong with you ... it is no small thing." - dan
