To response to Ben Tiessen note: The answer is incorrect. If you execute the code: function myFunc(){ echo "Hello World"; } $myFunc = myFunc(); $myFunc(); You will have the next output: Hello World Fatal error: Function name must be a string in... The function is executed when you declare the variable $myFunc to the function. The last line is not executed. This is because there is the incorrect way to use functions variables. For a correct way, you need to declare the variable $myFunc to the name string of the function: function myFunc(){ echo "Hello World"; } $myFunc = 'myFunc'; $myFunc(); Now you will have the correct output: Hello World. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 190.239.252.174 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/functions.user-defined.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116184 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116184/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116184/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116184/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116184/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116184/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116184/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116184 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116184 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
