RE: [PHP] Variable (naming them) Functions.

no classes CAN'T solve my problem: it is an abstraction layer. called as func_hello(); I want, inside func_hello() {} declare a new function based on what happened before func_hello() was called. In other words: I of course though about classes, and there is in fact a work around, but I need to know if 'function $var($arg) { return; }' syntax exists and what it is. in the docs there's nothing being said.

Why not use classes? If I understand you problem correctly, I think classes should solve your problem. Right?

Hello everyone: I was wondering, does anyone of you know a method to declare a function (give it a name) basing on a value acquired during run time? I tried using the syntax as of a variable function call: <snip> $fname = 'hello'; function { sprintf("%s", $fname) }($arg='') { Return "I named you : $fname"; } echo $fname($fname); # no luck... function {$fname}($arg='') { .... # nope... function $fname($arg='') { .... # neither... </snip> and so on... all parse errors... Any way to do it? I am looping an array with some function names checking if a function was declared already, and if not then declare, if yes - give a different name. I also went through these bibles: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.funchand.php <http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.funchand.php> but found nothing that helps.
