call_user_func_array

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

call_user_func_arrayCall a callback with an array of parameters

Descrizione

call_user_func_array(callable $callback, array $args): mixed

Calls the callback given by the first parameter with the parameters in args.

Elenco dei parametri

callback

The callable to be called.

args

The parameters to be passed to the callback, as an array.

If the keys of args are all numeric, the keys are ignored and each element will be passed to callback as a positional argument, in order.

If any keys of args are strings, those elements will be passed to callback as named arguments, with the name given by the key.

It is a fatal error to have a numeric key in args appear after a string key, or to have a string key that does not match the name of any parameter of callback.

Valori restituiti

Returns the return value of the callback, or false on error.

Log delle modifiche

Versione Descrizione
8.0.0 args keys will now be interpreted as parameter names, instead of being silently ignored.

Example #1 call_user_func_array() example

<?php
function foobar($arg, $arg2) {
echo
__FUNCTION__, " got $arg and $arg2\n";
}
class
foo {
function
bar($arg, $arg2) {
echo
__METHOD__, " got $arg and $arg2\n";
}
}


// Call the foobar() function with 2 arguments
call_user_func_array("foobar", array("one", "two"));

// Call the $foo->bar() method with 2 arguments
$foo = new foo;
call_user_func_array(array($foo, "bar"), array("three", "four"));
?>

Il precedente esempio visualizzerà qualcosa simile a:

foobar got one and two
foo::bar got three and four

Example #2 call_user_func_array() using namespace name

<?php

namespace Foobar;

class
Foo {
static public function
test($name) {
print
"Hello {$name}!\n";
}
}

call_user_func_array(__NAMESPACE__ .'\Foo::test', array('Hannes'));

call_user_func_array(array(__NAMESPACE__ .'\Foo', 'test'), array('Philip'));

?>

Il precedente esempio visualizzerà qualcosa simile a:

Hello Hannes!
Hello Philip!

Example #3 Using lambda function

<?php

$func
= function($arg1, $arg2) {
return
$arg1 * $arg2;
};

var_dump(call_user_func_array($func, array(2, 4)));

?>

Il precedente esempio visualizzerà:

int(8)

Example #4 Passing values by reference

<?php

function mega(&$a){
$a = 55;
echo
"function mega \$a=$a\n";
}
$bar = 77;
call_user_func_array('mega',array(&$bar));
echo
"global \$bar=$bar\n";

?>

Il precedente esempio visualizzerà:

function mega $a=55
global $bar=55

Example #5 call_user_func_array() using named arguments

<?php
function foobar($first, $second) {
echo
__FUNCTION__, " got $first and $second\n";
}

// Call the foobar() function with named arguments in non-positional order
call_user_func_array("foobar", array("second" => "two", "first" => "one"));

// Call the foobar() function with one named argument
call_user_func_array("foobar", array("foo", "second" => "bar"));

// Fatal error: Cannot use positional argument after named argument
call_user_func_array("foobar", array("first" => "one", "bar"));

?>

Il precedente esempio visualizzerà qualcosa simile a:

foobar got one and two
foobar got foo and bar

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use positional argument after named argument

Note

Nota:

I callback registrati alle funzioni come call_user_func() e call_user_func_array() non saranno invocati se un'eccezione non gestita è trasmessa da un callback precedente.

As of PHP 5.6 you can utilize argument unpacking as an alternative to call_user_func_array, and is often 3 to 4 times faster.

<?php
function foo ($a, $b) {
     return
$a + $b;
}

$func = 'foo';
$values = array(1, 2);
call_user_func_array($func, $values);
//returns 3

$func(...$values);
//returns 3
?>

Using PHP 8, call_user_func_array call callback function using named arguments if an array with keys is passed to $args parameter, if the array used has only values, arguments are passed positionally.

<?php

function test(string $param1, string $param2): void
{
    echo
$param1.' '.$param2;
}

$args = ['hello', 'world'];
//hello world
call_user_func_array('test', $args);

$args = ['param2' => 'world', 'param1' => 'hello'];
//hello world
call_user_func_array('test', $args);

$args = ['unknown_param' => 'hello', 'param2' => 'world'];
//Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Unknown named parameter $unknown_param
call_user_func_array('test', $args);

It's quite interesting reading the notes in this page especially the one that mentions the difference between argument unpacking being significantly faster than calling `call_user_func_array()` directly by admin at torntech dot com.

This is true for PHP 5 but as from PHP 7.0+, there is no significant difference in the run-time between these two mechanisms of operation. The time taken is almost, if not the same for both operations, so this is already something that tells me that the PHP run-time environment has changed quite a lot (for the PHP 7 rewrite).

I used the example from admin at torntech dot com to check this hypothesis.

Be aware the call_user_func_array always returns by value, as demonstrated here...

<?php   
   
function &foo(&$a)
    {
      return
$a;
    }
   
   
$b = 2;
   
$c =& call_user_func_array('foo', array(&$b));
   
$c++;
    echo
$b . ' ' . $c;   
?>

outputs "2 3", rather than the expected "3 3".

Here is a function you can use in place of call_user_func_array which returns a reference to the result of the function call.

<?php
   
function &ref_call_user_func_array($callable, $args)
    {
        if(
is_scalar($callable))
        {
           
// $callable is the name of a function
           
$call = $callable;
        }
        else
        {
            if(
is_object($callable[0]))
            {
               
// $callable is an object and a method name
               
$call = "\$callable[0]->{$callable[1]}";
            }
            else
            {
               
// $callable is a class name and a static method
               
$call = "{$callable[0]}::{$callable[1]}";
            }
        }
       
       
// Note because the keys in $args might be strings
        // we do this in a slightly round about way.
       
$argumentString = array();
       
$argumentKeys = array_keys($args);
        foreach(
$argumentKeys as $argK)
        {
           
$argumentString[] = "\$args[$argumentKeys[$argK]]";
        }
       
$argumentString = implode($argumentString, ', ');
       
// Note also that eval doesn't return references, so we
        // work around it in this way...   
       
eval("\$result =& {$call}({$argumentString});");
        return
$result;
    }
?>
