Unnamed Classes/Functions

[neoform]

Is it possible to pass unnamed functions or classes?

 

e.g. $func = function($param1, $param2) { echo "hi"; }

 

or

 

$obj = new class { ... }

for what?

I'm a bit confused and your question isn't clearly stated. So I'm guessing you want a variable to contain a function or class? Is that your question?

<?php

  $func = create_function('$s', 'echo $s');
  $func('hi');

?>

Hmm, that's probably not very efficient though, I guess php doesn't have a real way to work with unnamed functions..

[Ken2k7]

What are you trying to do that requires that?

[neoform]

I'd like to pass a function as a variable without having to give it a dynamic name since there are multiple parallel queries with similar code (modules).

 

This is something that gets done often in C++ but appears no possible in php..
