Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-13 19:29:01] aharvey@php.net It can only be callable if the callable is an object: $callable in this case is a Closure object, so spl_object_hash() can deal with that. spl_object_hash() would still fail with any callable that isn't an object, such as 'functionName', or [$object, 'methodName']. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-13 19:21:29] mgcummings at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.spl-object-hash --- Documents say parameter can only be object but callable is also allowed and the docs should be updated to reflect it. Test script: --------------- $callable = function() { return 'test'; }; $result = spl_object_hash($callable); // $result = '000000002ddd793a0000000047573d56' for example print $result .PHP_EOL; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68828&edit=1
