Devolver valores
If you want to call a static function (PHP5) in a variable method:
Make an array of two entries where the 0th entry is the name of the class to be invoked ('self' and 'parent' work as well) and the 1st entry is the name of the function. Basically, a 'callback' variable is either a string (the name of the function) or an array (0 => 'className', 1 => 'functionName').
Then, to call that function, you can use either call_user_func() or call_user_func_array(). Examples:
<?php
class A {
protected $a;
protected $c;
function __construct() {
$this->a = array('self', 'a');
$this->c = array('self', 'c');
}
static function a($name, &$value) {
echo $name,' => ',$value++,"\n";
}
function b($name, &$value) {
call_user_func_array($this->a, array($name, &$value));
}
static function c($str) {
echo $str,"\n";
}
function d() {
call_user_func_array($this->c, func_get_args());
}
function e() {
call_user_func($this->c, func_get_arg(0));
}
}
class B extends A {
function __construct() {
$this->a = array('parent', 'a');
$this->c = array('self', 'c');
}
static function c() {
print_r(func_get_args());
}
function d() {
call_user_func_array($this->c, func_get_args());
}
function e() {
call_user_func($this->c, func_get_args());
}
}
$a =& new A;
$b =& new B;
$i = 0;
A::a('index', $i);
$a->b('index', $i);
$a->c('string');
$a->d('string');
$a->e('string');
# etc.
?>
Funciones variables
PHP soporta el concepto de funciones variables. Esto significa que si un nombre de variable tiene paréntesis anexos a él, PHP buscará una función con el mismo nombre que lo evaluado por la variable, e intentará ejecutarla. Entre otras cosas, esto se puede usar para implementar llamadas de retorno, tablas de funciones, y así sucesivamente.
Las funciones variables no funcionarán con constructores de lenguaje como echo, print, unset(), isset(), empty(), include, require y similares. Utilice funciones de envoltura para hacer uso de cualquiera de estos constructores como funciones variables.
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de función variable
<?php
function foo() {
echo "En foo()<br />\n";
}
function bar($arg = '')
{
echo "En bar(); el argumento era '$arg'.<br />\n";
}
// Esta es una función de envoltura alrededor de echo
function hacerecho($cadena)
{
echo $cadena;
}
$func = 'foo';
$func(); // Esto llama a foo()
$func = 'bar';
$func('prueba'); // Esto llama a bar()
$func = 'hacerecho';
$func('prueba'); // Esto llama a hacerecho()
?>
Los métodos de objetos también puede ser llamados con la sintaxis de funciones variables.
Ejemplo #2 Ejemplo de método variable
<?php
class Foo
{
function Variable()
{
$nombre = 'Bar';
$this->$nombre(); // Esto llama al método Bar()
}
function Bar()
{
echo "Esto es Bar";
}
}
$foo = new Foo();
$nombrefunc = "Variable";
$foo->$nombrefunc(); // Esto llama a $foo->Variable()
?>
Cuando se llaman a métodos estáticos, la llamada a la función es más fuerte que el operador de propiedad static:
Ejemplo #3 Ejemplo de método variable con propiedades estáticas
<?php
class Foo
{
static $variable = 'propiedad estática';
static function Variable()
{
echo 'Método Variable llamado';
}
}
echo Foo::$variable; // Esto imprime 'propiedad estática'. No necesita una $variable en este ámbito.
$variable = "Variable";
Foo::$variable(); // Esto llama a $foo->Variable() leyendo $variable en este ámbito.
?>

A good method to pass around variables containing function names within some class is to use the same method as the developers use in preg_replace_callback - with arrays containing an instance of the class and the function name itself.
function call_within_an_object($fun)
{
if(is_array($fun))
{
/* call a function within an object */
$fun[0]->{$fun[1]}();
}
else
{
/* call some other function */
$fun();
}
}
function some_other_fun()
{
/* code */
}
class x
{
function fun($value)
{
/* some code */
}
}
$x = new x();
/* the following line calls $x->fun() */
call_within_an_object(Array($x, 'fun'));
/* the following line calls some_other_fun() */
call_within_an_object('some_other_fun');

Yes interpolation can be very tricky. I suggest that you always use parenthesis, or curly brackets(whichever applies) to make your expression clear.
Dont ever depend on a language's expression parse preference order.

Create and call a dynamically named function
<?php
$tmp = "foo";
$$tmp = function() {
global $tmp;
echo $tmp;
};
$$tmp();
?>
Outputs "foo"

Finally, a very easy way to call a variable method in a class:
Example of a class:
class Print() {
var $mPrintFunction;
function Print($where_to) {
$this->mPrintFunction = "PrintTo$where_to";
}
function PrintToScreen($content) {
echo $content;
}
function PrintToFile($content) {
fputs ($file, $contents);
}
.. .. ..
// first, function name is parsed, then function is called
$this->{$this->mPrintFunction}("something to print");
}

Variable functions allows higher-order programming.
Here is the classical map example.
<?php
/*
* Map function. At each $element of the $list, calls $fun([$arg1,[$arg2,[...,]],$element,$accumulator),
* stores the return value into $accumulator for the next loop. Returns the last return value of the function,
*
* Notes : uses call_user_func_array() so passing parameters doesn't depend on $fun signature
* It also returns FALSE upon error.
* Please check the php documentation for more information
*/
function map($fun, $list,$params=array()){
$acc=NULL;
$last=array_push($params, NULL,$acc)-1; // alloc $element and $acc at the end
foreach($list as $params[$last-1]){
$params[$last]=call_user_func_array($fun , $params );
}
$acc=array_pop($params);
return $acc;
}
function add($element,$acc){ // maybe only with multi-length function
if ($acc == NULL);
return $acc=$element+$acc;
}
$result=0;
$result=addTo($result,1);
$result=addTo($result,2);
$result=addTo($result,3);
echo "result = $result\n";
$result=0;
$result=map('addTo',array(1,2,3));
echo "result= $result\n";
?>

Try the call_user_func() function. I find it's a bit simpler to implement, and at very least makes your code a bit more readable... much more readable and simpler to research for someone who isn't familiar with this construct.

This can quite useful for a dynamic database class:
(Note: This just a simplified section)
<?php
class db {
private $host = 'localhost';
private $user = 'username';
private $pass = 'password';
private $type = 'mysqli';
public $lid = 0;
// Connection function
function connect() {
$connect = $this->type.'_connect';
if (!$this->lid = $connect($this->host, $this->user, $this->pass)) {
die('Unable to connect.');
}
}
}
$db = new db;
$db->connect();
?>
Much easier than having multiple database classes or even extending a base class.

You can make dynamic functions as well.
For example
<?php
$myFunction = function() {
echo 1;
};
if(is_callable($myFunction)) {
$myFunction();
}
?>

Another way to have php parse a variable within an object as a function is to simply set a temporary variable to its value. For example:
$obj->myfunction = "foo";
$x = $obj->myfunction;
$x(); // calls the function named "foo"
