Function as array value

Question

I can\'t seem to find anything of this, and was wondering if it\'s possible to store a function or function reference as a value for an array element. For e.g.

Answer 1

check out PHP's call_user_func. consider the below example.

consider two functions

function a($param)
{
    return $param;
}

function b($param)
{
    return $param;
}


$array = array('a' => 'first function param', 'b' => 'second function param');

now if you want to execute all the function in a sequence you can do it with a loop.

foreach($array as $functionName => $param) {
    call_user_func($functioName, $param);
}

plus array can hold any data type, be it function call, nested arrays, object, string, integer etc. etc.
