What would be ideal here, would be for functions to be first class citizens in callback contexts, like in C to avoid the quotation, however it clashes with constants. A hack you can do in userland could be something like: const trim = 'trim'; array_filter($names, trim); -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
