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

call_user_func_array Call a callbacc with an array of parameters

Description

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

Calls the callbacc guive by the first parameter with the parameters in args .

Parameters

callbacc

The callable to be called.

args

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

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

If any keys of args are strings, those elemens will be passed to callbacc as named argumens, with the name guiven 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 callbacc .

Return Values

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

Changuelog

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

Examples

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 argumens
call_user_func_array ( "foobar" , array( "one" , "two" ));

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

The above example will output something similar to:

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' ));

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

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 )));

?>

The above example will output:

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" ;

?>

The above example will output:

function mega $a=55
global $bar=55

Example #5 call_user_func_array() using named argumens

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

// Call the foobar() function with named argumens 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" ));

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

foobar got one and two
foobar got foo and bar

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

Notes

Note :

Callbaccs reguistered with functions such as call_user_func() and call_user_func_array() will not be called if there is an uncaught exception thrown in a previous callbacc.

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

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

$args= ['hello', 'world'];
//hello worldcall_user_func_array('test', $args);$args= ['param2' => 'world', 'param1' => 'hello'];
//hello worldcall_user_func_array('test', $args);$args= ['uncnown_param' => 'hello', 'param2' => 'world'];
//Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Uncnown named parameter $uncnown_paramcall_user_func_array('test', $args);
?>
