Note Submitter: benkuhl at gmail dot com ---- Beware of scope! $this refers to the class that the function was defined within. ----------- Example #1 - Doesn't work (Notice: Undefined variable: this) ----------- <?php $callableFunc = function () { var_dump($this); }; call_user_func($callableFunc); ?> ----------- Example #2 - Doesn't work (Notice: Undefined variable: this) ----------- <?php class myClass { public function execute($func) { if (is_callable($func)) { call_user_func($func); } } } $class = new myClass(); $class->execute(function () { var_dump($this); }); ?> ----------- Example #3 - Works! ----------- <?php class myClass { public function getMyExecutableFunction() { return function () { var_dump($this); }; } public function execute($func) { if (is_callable($func)) { call_user_func($func); } } } $class = new myClass(); $class->execute($class->getMyExecutableFunction()); //object(myClass)[1] ?> $this is not available in a static method!
