[SOLVED] Can I use a class' method as a callback function for functions like array_walk

[RussellReal]

like.. for example:

 

<?php
class TestCallback {
  private $variable;
  private function handleWalk($theValue) {
    echo "<h1><b>{$this->variable}</b></h1><br />";
    echo $theValue.'<br />';
  }
  public function goTest() {
    $this->variable = 'TEST!!!';
    $abc = array('lol','omg');
    array_walk($abc,'$this->handleWalk');
  }
}
$t = new TestCallBack();
$t->goTest();
?>

 

NOW I know that won't work since, when the callback is triggered.. it will not know what $this is, but if I did like TestCallBack::handleWalk instead of $this->handleWalk it will most likely work..

 

I want callback functions to be able to be a method within the $this object inside my class.. if I'm making any sence..

 

in other words.. I want to keep it all within the class, instead of another class to extend the main class in order to do this

Try

array_walk($abc,array($this,"handleWalk"));
