note 92548 added to function.preg-replace-callback

When you use preg_replace_callback in a class and have the callback function as a private method of that class, you need to set the callback function name like className::CallBack. self::CallBack does not work and returns an error: "Cannot call method self::CallBack() or method does not exist"! <?php class myClass{ public function parsetext($text){ // parses text and sets literals A - C to lower case // this works return preg_replace_callback('|([a-c])|i', 'myClass::preg_tolower', $text); } public function parsefail($text){ // parses text and sets literals A - C to lower case // this fails return preg_replace_callback('|([a-c])|i', 'self::preg_tolower', $text); } private static function preg_tolower($matches){ return strtolower($matches[1]); } } $parser = new myClass; echo $parser->parsetext('ABCDEFGH'); // echoes abcDEFGH echo $parser->parsefail('ABCDEFGH'); // throws the error ---- Server IP: 217.13.201.10 Probable Submitter: 78.34.207.15 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace-callback.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92548 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92548/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92548/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92548/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92548/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92548/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92548/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92548 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92548 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
