PHP: Funzioni variabili

Funzioni variabili

PHP supporta il concetto di funzioni variabili. Ciò significa che se un nome di variabile ha le parentesi accodate ad esso, PHP cercherà una funzione con lo stesso nome del valore della variabile, e cercherà di eseguirla. Tra le altre cose, ciò puo essere usato per implementare delle callbacks, tabelle di funzioni e così via.

Le funzioni variabili non funzionano con costrutti di linguaggio come echo, print, unset(), isset(), empty(), include, require e simili. Occorre costruire una propria funzione per utilizzare questi costrutti come variabili per funzioni.

Example #1 Esempio di funzioni variabili

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

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

// Questa è la funzione per usare echo
function echoit($string)
{
    echo $string;
}

$func = 'foo';
$func();        // questa chiama foo()

$func = 'bar';
$func('test');  // questa chiama bar()

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

Tramite le funzioni variabili si possono eseguire anche metodi di oggetti.

Example #2 Esempio di un metodo variabile

<?php
class Foo
{
    function Variable()
    {
        $name = 'Bar';
        $this->$name(); // Questo esegue il metodo Bar()
    }
    
    function Bar()
    {
        echo "This is Bar";
    }
}

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

?>

Quando si chiamano dei metodi statici, la chiamata a funzione ha la precedenza sull'operatore di proprietà statica:

Example #3 Esempio di metodo variabile con proprietà statiche

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

echo Foo::$variable; // Questo stampa 'static property'. Non ha bisogno di una $variable in questo ambito.
$variable = "Variable";
Foo::$variable();  // Questo chiama $foo->Variable() leggendo $variable da questo ambito.

?>

Example #4 Callable complesse

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

$func = array("Foo", "bar");
$func(); // stampa "bar"
$func = array(new Foo, "baz");
$func(); // stampa "baz"
$func = "Foo::bar";
$func(); // stampa "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.
