note 34845 added to function.create-function

Sometimes it may be useful to create functions in a dynamic environment (f. e. in a daemon-like php script). Normally declaring a function must be done once, which results in the problem, that in this special case modifying a function wouldn't have an effect until the script is reloaded. Maybe this code snipplet is useful 4 u. File: "functions.inc" <?php function test($str) { echo $str; } ?> Dynamic FunctionHandler: <? $FileName = "functions.inc"; $FileHandle = fopen($FileName,"r"); $FileContent = fread($FileHandle,filesize($FileName)); fclose($FileHandle); preg_match_all("#function\ ?([a-zA-Z0-9-_]*)\ ?\((.*?)\)\ ?\{(.*?)\}#mixse",$FileContent,$Matches); if ( is_array($Matches) && isset($Matches[0]) && count($Matches[0]) > 0 ) { foreach ( $Matches[0] as $key=>$val ) { $$Matches[1][$key] = create_function($Matches[2][$key],$Matches[3][$key]); } } ?> The Test: <?php echo $test("test"); ?> .. will echo "test"; Hans Kuhlen ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.create-function.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34845 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34845&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34845&report=yes
