Funções variáveis

O PHP suporta o conceito de funções variáveis. Isto significa que se um nome de variável tem parênteses no final dela, o PHP procurará uma função com o mesmo nome, qualquer que seja a avaliação da variável, e tentará executá-la. Entre outras coisas, isto pode ser usado para implementar callbacks, tabelas de função e assim por diante.

Funções variáveis não funcionam com construtores de linguagem como echo, print, unset(), isset(), empty(), include, require e outras assim. Utilize uma função de wrapper para usar quaisquer um destes construtores como uma função variável.

Exemplo #1 Exemplo de funções variáveis

<?php
function foo() {
echo
"Chamou foo()<br>\n";
}

function
bar($arg = '')
{
echo
"Chamou bar(); com argumento '$arg'.<br />\n";
}

// Essa é uma função wrapper para echo()
function echoit($string)
{
echo
$string;
}

$func = 'foo';
$func(); // Chama foo()

$func = 'bar';
$func('test'); // Chama bar()

$func = 'echoit';
$func('test'); // Chama echoit()
?>

Um método de um objeto também pode ser chamado com a sintaxe de funções variáveis.

Exemplo #2 Exemplo de chamada de um método variável

<?php
class Foo
{
function
MetodoVariavel()
{
$name = 'Bar';
$this->$name(); // Isto chama o método Bar()
}

function
Bar()
{
echo
"Bar foi chamada!";
}
}

$foo = new Foo();
$funcname = "MetodoVariavel";
$foo->$funcname(); // Isto chama $foo->MetodoVariavel()

?>

Quando chamando métodos estáticos, uma chamada de função tem preferência que uma propriedade estática.

Exemplo #3 Método variávei com propriedades estáticas

<?php
class Foo
{
static
$variable = 'propriedade estática';
static function
Variable()
{
echo
'Método chamado';
}
}

echo
Foo::$variable; // Isto imprime 'propriedade estática'. Ele busca $variable no escopo da classe.
$variable = "Variable";
Foo::$variable(); // Isto chama $foo->Variable(), lendo a $variable no escopo da chamada.

?>

Exemplo #4 Callables complexos

<?php
class Foo
{
static function
bar()
{
echo
"bar\n";
}
function
baz()
{
echo
"baz\n";
}
}

$func = array("Foo", "bar");
$func(); // prints "bar"
$func = array(new Foo, "baz");
$func(); // prints "baz"
$func = "Foo::bar";
$func(); // prints "bar"
?>

While the documentation suggests that the use of a constant is similar to the use of a variable, there is an exception regarding variable functions. You cannot use a constant as the function name to call a variable function.

const DEBUGME ='func';
function func($s) { echo $s. "\n"; }

DEBUGME('abc'); // results in a syntax error

$call = DEBUGME;
$call('abc'); // does the job

But you can use a constant as an argument to a function. Here's a simple workaround when you need to call a variable constant function:

function dynamic($what, $with)
{
$what($with);
}
dynamic(DEBUGME, 'abc');

This makes sense to me to hide API's and/or long (complicated) static calls.
Enjoy!

<?php
/*
You might have found yourself at this php variable functions page because, like me, you wanted to pass functions
around like objects to client objects as you can in JavaScript. The issue I ran into was although
I could call a function using a variable like this " $v(); "...I could not do it like this " $obj->p() " where
'p' is a property containing the name of the method to call. Did not want to save my property off to a variable prior
to making my call: " $v = $obj->p; $v(); "; even if one finds a way, the below applies...

I credit this expanded work to this person: tatarynowicz at gmail dot com;
without them I would not have gotten here.
