Storing a Closure Function in a Class Property in PHP

Question

ok I do have the code below

bar();
       }
    }

    $mee         


        

Answer 1

You will not be able to do that.

Take for example this code:

class T {
  function foo() {
    echo 'T::foo';
  }
}

$t = new T;
$t->foo = function() {
  echo 'Closure::foo';
};
$t->foo();

It works fine on PHP 5.4.6 and/or PHP 5.3.16, however it will result in T::foo getting printed.

This happens because methods, in PHP, are not modifiable class properties, as they are for example in javascript.

However,

$foo = $t->foo;
$foo();

will print Closure::foo as expected.
