Re: Inconsistencies in callable, call_user_func and direct variable calls

I've always liked how callbacks (well, function pointers) are handled in C - using the function name without parentheses. eg. $a = $object->method; But this wouldn't work in PHP as is, since property and method names would collide. How do people feel about the fact that we have separate property and method namespaces? Does it add value?

IMHO. Then how would you write an callback containing an already constructed object? $a = [$object, 'method']; The alternative is unnecessarily cumbersome: $a = function($methodArg1, $methodArg2) use($object) { return $object->method($methodArg1, $methodArg2); }; -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
