Note Submitter: jose dot antonio dot bayona dot medina at gmail dot com ---- 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.
