note 92554 added to functions.anonymous

Unfortunately, you can't get a pointer to a function, the only function pointers are ones which use anonymous functions as they're created. This wont work: <?php $info = phpinfo; $info(); //or function foo() { echo 'bar'; } $foo = foo; $foo(); ?> Because of the behavior of $foo(), it will assume $foo is a string, and try to run the function with the name stored in the string. ---- Server IP: 87.124.35.190 Probable Submitter: 195.149.46.150 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92554 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92554/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92554/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92554/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92554/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92554/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92554/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92554 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92554 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
