ID: 30063 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: aqsalter at westnet dot com dot au Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment:
Hah, That'll teach me. I ponder, how can we best link that information to pages that use a callback? An entity? Put it in the see-also? Also, aqsalter, I hope this has answered your question. We'll work out how to make the information more accessable so the problem does not recur. Thanks for taking the time to contribute. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-11 13:17:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Argh. "something like" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-11 13:16:44] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You mean something http://www.php.net/pseudo-types#language.types.callback ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-11 11:49:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know what is meant by "calling instances", I assume he means "ability to call a method of a class" - This information should be present, but not on this page. I think we need some information about the "callback" type. This information really isn't specific to call_user_func, either. I suggest we pop a language.types.callback page in, and link it somehow from pages that use a callback function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-11 04:46:18] aqsalter at westnet dot com dot au Description: ------------ the current documentation for call_user_func and call_user_func_array does not mention that it can be used for calling instances as well... There is some information in one of the comments to call_user_func. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class provider { function myfunction($x) { echo "burak was at $x\n"; } } $x= new provider(); call_user_func(array($x,'myfunction'),"a conference"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- burak was at a conference Actual result: -------------- The documentation does not mention that you can use call_user_func with instance methods. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30063&edit=1
