Two ways to do it:
1) Pass a string that is the callback function's name; then call it a
dynamic variable function:
function Traverse($callback)
{
$rtn = $callback($this);
...
}
2) Use a PHP callback pseudotype (http://php.net/pseudo-types):
function Traverse($callback)
{
// Calls the callback with $this as its argument:
$rtn = call_use_func($callback, $this);
...
}
Callbacks can be either a string containing a function name or an array
with the first element either a class name or object reference and the
second argument a method name (the first does a static method call, the
second an object method call).
