note 48200 deleted from function.call-user-func by googleguy

Note Submitter: bostjan dot skufca at domenca dot com ---- This is the CORRECTED VERSION of previous note. After playing a while I realised that objects are not passed by reference implicitly, you have to do it on your own, so: call_user_func(array($objectBar, 'methodFoo')); // case sensitive first duplicates object $objectBar (internally) and only then calls it's methodFoo. This kind of use is discouraged as it may result in "unpredicted behaviour". Correct version is here. call_user_func(array(&$objectBar, 'methodFoo')); // case sensitive (note the reference operator). --- and the corrected note is here --- I couldn't find any simple list of available callback variations, so I made one. It is tested on PHP 4.3.9 only. If you need to call ordinary function: call_user_func('funcFoo'); If you need to call CLASS method (NOT object): call_user_func(array('classBar', 'methodFoo')); // case insensitive If you need to call OBJECT method: call_user_func(array(&$objectBar, 'methodFoo')); // case sensitive If you need to call method of object of object: call_user_func(array(&$objectBar->objectTor, 'methodFoo')); // case sensitive If you need to call object method from within the very same object (NOT CLASS!): call_user_func(array(&$this, 'methodFoo'));
