Is it possible to curry method calls in PHP?

Question

I have a SoapClient instance generated for a WSDL file. All except one of the method invocations require the username and the password to be passed id.

Is there any

As mentionned by Ihor, the Non-standard PHP library is interesting. I have already implemented the same method, it is a bit different than Ihor's curried() function

function curryfy($f, $args = []) {
    $reflexion = new ReflectionFunction($f);
    $nbParams = $reflexion->getNumberOfParameters();

    return function (...$arguments) use ($f, $reflexion, $nbParams, $args) {
        if (count($args) + count($arguments) >= $nbParams) {
            return $reflexion->invokeArgs(array_merge($args, $arguments));
        }

        return curryfy($f, array_merge($args, $arguments));
    };
}

Usage :

function display4 ($a, $b, $c, $d) {
    echo "$a, $b, $c, $d\n";
};
$curry4 = curryfy('display4');
display4(1, 2, 3, 4);
$curry4(1)(2)(3)(4);
