PHP: Funciones variables

Funciones variables ¶

PHP soporta el concepto de funciones variables. Esto significa que si el nombre de una variable es seguido de paréntesis, PHP buscará una función con el mismo nombre y tratará de ejecutarla. Esto puede servir, entre otros, para hacer funciones de retrollamada, tablas de funciones...

Las funciones variables no pueden funcionar con los elementos de lenguaje como los echo, print, unset(), isset(), empty(), include, require etc. Se debe utilizar su propia gestión de funciones para utilizar uno de estos elementos de lenguaje como funciones variables.

Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de función variable

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

function bar($arg = '')
{
    echo "Dentro de bar(); el argumento era '$arg'.<br />\n";
}

// Esto es una función desviada de echo
function echoit($string)
{
    echo $string;
}

$func = 'foo';
$func();        // Llamada a foo()

$func = 'bar';
$func('test');  // Llamada a bar()

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

También se puede llamar a los métodos de un objeto utilizando el sistema de funciones variables.

Ejemplo #2 Ejemplo de método variable

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

    function Bar()
    {
        echo "Es Bar";
    }
}

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

?>

Al llamar a métodos estáticos, la llamada de función es mejor que el operador de propiedad estática:

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 muestra 'propiedad estática'. Es necesario tener una $variable en el contexto.
$variable = "Variable";
Foo::$variable();  // Esto llama a $foo->Variable(), leyendo así la $variable desde el contexto.

?>

Ejemplo #4 Llamadas complejas

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

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