Note Submitter: mpotra.com ---- Actually, @moechofe, you can use callable members inside another class, by applying the following technique: <?php class CallableClass { function __invoke( $x ) { var_dump( $x ); return $this; } public function dump( $x ) { var_dump( $x ); return $this; } } class NoInvoke { // simple class, invoke on member won't work public $test = NULL; function __construct() { $this->test = new CallableClass(); } } class YesInvoke { //same class, but with an added method to allow invoke public $test = NULL; function __construct() { $this->test = new CallableClass(); } public function test( $x ) { // create a method with the same name as the member (in this case: test ) $p = &$this->test; // store a reference to the member, so we can request its __invoke ability return $p( $x ); // return $p( $x ) which equals to $this->test->__invoke( $x ) } } $mycall = new CallableClass(); var_dump( $mycall( 7 ) ); //int(7) // object(CallableClass)# (0) {} var_dump( $mycall->dump( 8 ) ); //int(8) // object(CallableClass)# (0) {} $noinvoke = new NoInvoke(); //var_dump( $noinvoke->test( 7 ) ); //Fatal error: Call to undefined method NoInvoke::test() !!! var_dump( $noinvoke->test->dump( 8 ) ); //int(8) // object(CallableClass)# (0) {} $yesinvoke = new YesInvoke() ; var_dump( $yesinvoke->test( 7 ) ); //int(7) // object(CallableClass)# (0) {} var_dump( $yesinvoke->test->dump( 8 ) ); //int(8) // object(CallableClass)# (0) {} ?> And in case you don't want to spend time adding functions for each callable object, use __call: <?php class YesInvoke2 { public $test = NULL; public $dynamic = NULL; function __construct() { $this->test = new CallableClass(); $this->dynamic = new CallableClass(); } function __call( $name, $args ) { if( is_callable( $this->$name ) ) { return call_user_func_array( $this->$name, $args ); } } } $yesinvoke2 = new YesInvoke2(); var_dump( $yesinvoke2->test( 7 ) ); //int(7) // object(CallableClass)# (0) {} var_dump( $yesinvoke2->test->dump( 8 ) ); //int(8) // object(CallableClass)# (0) {} var_dump( $yesinvoke2->dynamic( 7 ) ); //int(7) // object(CallableClass)# (0) {} var_dump( $yesinvoke2->dynamic->dump( 8 ) ); //int(8) // object(CallableClass)# (0) {} ?>
