PHP: 可变函数 - PHP中文网

可变函数

PHP 支持可变函数的概念。这意味着如果一个变量名后有圆括号，PHP 将寻找与变量的值同名的函数，并且尝试执行它。可变函数可以用来实现包括回调函数，函数表在内的一些用途。

可变函数不能用于例如 echo，print，unset()，isset()，empty()，include，require 以及类似的语言结构。需要使用自己的包装函数来将这些结构用作可变函数。

示例 #1 可变函数示例

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

function bar($arg = '')
{
    echo "In bar(); argument was '$arg'.<br />\n";
}

// 使用 echo 的包装函数
function echoit($string)
{
    echo $string;
}

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

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

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

也可以用可变函数的语法来调用一个对象的方法。

示例 #2 可变方法范例

<?php
class Foo
{
    function Variable()
    {
        $name = 'Bar';
        $this->$name(); // 调用 Bar() 方法
    }

    function Bar()
    {
        echo "This is Bar";
    }
}

$foo = new Foo();
$funcname = "Variable";
$foo->$funcname();  // 调用 $foo->Variable()

?>

当调用静态方法时，函数调用要比静态属性优先：

示例 #3 Variable 方法和静态属性示例

<?php
class Foo
{
    static $variable = 'static property';
    static function Variable()
    {
        echo 'Method Variable called';
    }
}

echo Foo::$variable; // 打印 'static property'。在该作用域中需要 $variable。
$variable = "Variable";
Foo::$variable();  // 在该作用域中读取 $variable 调用 $foo->Variable()。

?>

示例 #4 复杂调用

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

$func = array("Foo", "bar");
$func(); // 打印 "bar"
$func = array(new Foo, "baz");
$func(); // 打印 "baz"
$func = "Foo::bar";
$func(); // 打印 "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!

You might have found yourself at this php variable functions page because, like me, you wanted to pass functions

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...

If you are here looking for a function reference, this is NOT how to do it:

<?php
 function func1(){ echo "hell0 1";}
 $choice = func1; // no quotes
?>

It works, but $choice is not what you might think, a reference to a function. It is simply the name of the function as a string, written without (!) quotes. 

It's  the same as
<?php
 $choice = "func1"; // with quotes
?>

You can do echo gettype($choice) to confirm.

So calling
<?php
 $choice()
?>
is a variable-function for both cases, calling it by its name, not by reference.

Go via an assigned anonymous function to get a reference to the function:
<?php
 $func1 = function(){ echo "hell0 1";}
 $func1 = function(){ echo "hell0 2";}
?>

Now you can pass around the function like a first class object
<?php
 $choice = $func1; 
?>
or
<?php
 $choice = $func2; 
?>
and call it
<?php
 $choice();
?>

If you want to pass around a class method, use the "Complex callables" from the manual, above. It's a call by name (not a reference), but since you can include the object you can still get the flexibility you want:

<?php
 class C { 
      function k(){ echo "inside k";} 
      function j(){ echo "inside j"; return  array($this,"k");}};
?>

You can use $this as the object in the first element of the array.
<?php
 $c = new C;
 $c->k();
 inside k
 
 $func = $c->j();
 inside j
?>
And now, le moment supreme: 
<?php
 $func();
 inside k
?>

A small, but helpful note. If you are trying to call a static function from a different namespace, you must use the fully qualified namespace, even if they have the same top level namespace(s). For example if you have the following class to call:

<?php
namespace Project\TestClass;
class Test {
    static function funcToCall() {
        return "test";
    }
}
?>
You must call it as:
<?php
namespace Project\OtherTestClass;
class OtherTest {
    static function callOtherFunc() {
        $func = '\Project\TestClass::funcToCall';
        $func();
    }
}
?>
and not:
<?php
class OtherTest {
    static function callOtherFunc() {
        $func = 'TestClass::funcToCall';
        $func();
    }
}
?>

<?php
static bar method works with statically or non statically wherese non static method could not work statically

//non static method
class myCls{
    public function  foo(){
        echo "foo function";
    }
    static public function bar(){
        echo "static bar function";
        
    }
}

$a = new myCls;
$myf = "foo";
$a->$myf();//works
echo "\n";

$a = [new myCls,"foo"];//works
$a();
echo "\n";
//$a = ["myCls","foo"];//fatal error
//$a();
echo "\n";
//$a = "myCls::foo";//fatal error
//$a();
echo "\n";

//static method called with statically or nonstatically
$b = new myCls;
$myf = "bar";
$b->$myf();//works
echo "\n";

$b = [new myCls,"bar"];//works
$b();
echo "\n";

$b = "myCls::bar";//works
$b();
echo "\n";

$b = ["myCls","bar"];//works
$b();
echo "\n";
