Re: $arr = array('Hello', 'world') ; $arr();

Hi,

Hi all, Reading our bug tracker I noticed a good feature request [1] from 2009 which points to an interesting feature that I think makes sense for us, since we are now working with $f() using objects and strings, and the array('class', 'method') is an old known for call_user_func()-like functions. So, I wrote a patch [2] that allow such behavior to be consistent with arrays. See some examples: class Hello { public function world($x) {

      echo "Hello, $x\n"; return $this;

} } $f = array('Hello','world'); var_dump($f('you')); $f = array(new Hello, 'foo'); $f(); All such calls match with the call_user_func() behavior related to magic methods, static & non-static methods. The array to be a valid callback should be a 2-element array, and it must be for the first element object/string and for the second string only. (just like our zend_is_callable() check and opcodes related to init call) Any thoughts?

what happens if I use this code. class Foo { public $bar; public function __construct() {

      $this->bar = array($this, 'baz');
      $this->bar();

} public function bar() {

      echo 'bar';

} public function baz() {

      echo 'baz';

} } new Foo(); What is the output of this snippet? Are there the same rules as for closures? Christian
