PHP pass function as param then call the function?



I need to pass a function as a parameter to another function and then call the passed function from withing the function...This is probably easier for me to explain in code..I basically want to do something like this:







function ($functionToBeCalled)

{

call($functionToBeCalled,additional_params);

}







Is there a way to do that.. I am using PHP 4.3.9





Thanks!

  1. I think you are looking for call_user_func.

    An example from the PHP Manual:

    <?php
    function barber($type) {
    echo "You wanted a $type haircut, no problem";
    }
    call_user_func('barber', "mushroom");
    call_user_func('barber', "shave");
    ?>

  2. function foo($function) {
    $function(" World");
    }
    function bar($params) {
    echo "Hello".$params;
    }

    $variable = 'bar';
    foo($variable);


    Additionally, you can do it this way. See variable functions.

  3. In php this is very simple.

    <?php

    function here() {
    print 'here';
    }


    function dynamo($name) {
    $name();
    }

    //Will work
    dynamo('here');
    //Will fail
    dynamo('not_here');

  4. You could also use call_user_func_array() it allows you to pass an array of parameters as the second parameter so you don't have to know exactly how many variables you're passing.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
