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

Answer 1

This answer Is it possible to curry method calls in PHP? doesn't show Currying. That answer shows partial application. A nice tutorial which explains the difference between those concepts can be seen here: http://allthingsphp.blogspot.com/2012/02/currying-vs-partial-application.html

This is Currying:

function sum3($x, $y, $z) {
    return $x + $y + $z;
}

// The curried function    
function curried_sum3($x) {
    return function ($y) use ($x) {
        return function ($z) use ($x, $y) {
            return sum3($x, $y, $z);
        };
    };
}

Invoking the curried function in PHP 7

$result = curried_sum3(1)(2)(3); 
var_dump($result); // int 6

Invoking the curried function in PHP 5

$f1 = curried_sum3(6);
$f2 = $f1(6);
$result = $f2(6);
var_dump($result);

//OUTPUT:
int 18

This is Partial application:

function sum3($x, $y, $z) {
    return $x + $y + $z;
}

function partial_sum3($x) {
    return function($y, $z) use($x) {
        return sum3($x, $y, $z);
    };
}

//create the partial
$f1 = partial_sum3(6);
//execute the partial with the two remaining arguments
$result = $f1(6, 6);

var_dump($result);

//OUTPUT:
int 18
