Funções para Manuseamento de Funções
I think a better solution is to use ReflectionClass instead of call_user_func_array:
<?php
$rc = new ReflectionClass('SomeClass');
$class = $rc->newInstanceArgs(array('foo', 'bar'));
echo $class->doSomething();
?>
call_user_func_array
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
call_user_func_array — Chama uma dada função de usuário com um array de parâmetros
Descrição
Chama uma function definida pelo usuário com os parâmetros param_arr.
Parâmetros
- function
-
A função a ser chamada.
- param_arr
-
Os parâmetros para ser passado para a função, com array indexado.
Valor Retornado
Retorna o resultado da função, ou FALSE em error.
Exemplos
Exemplo #1 Exemplo da call_user_func_array()
<?php
function debug($var, $val)
{
echo "***DEBUGGING\nVARIABLE: $var\nVALUE:";
if (is_array($val) || is_object($val) || is_resource($val)) {
print_r($val);
} else {
echo "\n$val\n";
}
echo "***\n";
}
$c = mysql_connect();
$host = $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];
call_user_func_array ('debug', array("host", $host));
call_user_func_array ('debug', array("c", $c));
call_user_func_array ('debug', array("_POST", $_POST));
?>
Exemplo #2 Usando call_user_func_array() com nome do namespace
<?php
namespace Foobar;
class Foo {
static public function test($name) {
print "Hello {$name}!\n";
}
}
// A partir do PHP 5.3.0
call_user_func_array(__NAMESPACE__ .'::Foo::test', array('Hannes'));
// Hello Hannes!
// A partir do PHP 5.3.0
call_user_func_array(array(__NAMESPACE__ .'::Foo', 'test'), array('Philip'));
// Hello Philip!
?>
Notas
Nota:
Variáveis referenciadas em param_arr são passadas para a função por referência, outras são passadas por valor. Em outras palavras, ele não depende da assinatura da função se o parâmetro é passado por valor ou por referência.

in PHP 5.2.* when pass string to $param_arr, there will not be warning, but in PHP 5.3, there was a warning

This function is relatively slow (as of PHP 5.3.3) and if you are calling a method with a known number of parameters it is much faster to call it this way:
$class->{$method}($param1, $param2);
vs
call_user_func_array (array($class, $method), array($param1, $param2));
But if you don't know how many parameters...
The wrapper function below is slightly faster, but the problem now is that you are making two function calls. One to the wrapper and one to the function.
However, If you are able to take this code out of the function and use it inline it is nearly twice as fast (in most cases) as calling call_user_func_array natively.
<?php
function wrap_call_user_func_array($c, $a, $p) {
switch(count($p)) {
case 0: $c->{$a}(); break;
case 1: $c->{$a}($p[0]); break;
case 2: $c->{$a}($p[0], $p[1]); break;
case 3: $c->{$a}($p[0], $p[1], $p[2]); break;
case 4: $c->{$a}($p[0], $p[1], $p[2], $p[3]); break;
case 5: $c->{$a}($p[0], $p[1], $p[2], $p[3], $p[4]); break;
default: call_user_func_array(array($c, $a), $p); break;
}
}

It's not commented above:
This function behaves as call_user_func. To call a method of a class instace, instead of passing the function name as the first argument, pass an array like ($classInstance, 'methodName')
<?php
public class Person {
private $name = null;
private $pocketContents= null;
protected function __construct() {
$this->name = 'My creator was too lazy to name me';
}
public function getName() {
return $this->name;
}
public function setName($name) {
$this->name = $name;
}
public function getPocketContents() {
return $this->$pocketContents;
}
public function setPocketContents() {
$args = func_get_args();
$this->$pocketContents = $args;
}
}
$contents = array();
$contents[0] = 'random';
$contents['foo'] = 'bar';
$subobject = array();
$subobject['param'] = 'value';
$contents['subobject'] = $subobject;
call_user_func(($myInstance, 'setPocketContents'), $contents);

Many people have wondered how to effectively implement dispatch tables in PHP. Here's my answer to that (if you'll forgive my creative flair):
<?php

define( "YOUR_MOTHER", 1 );
define( "YOUR_FATHER", 2 );
define( "YOUR_BROTHER", 3 );

class MyFamily
{
static $dispatch = array( YOUR_MOTHER => "Mom", YOUR_FATHER => "GetPrisonInmate", YOUR_BROTHER => "ReplaceName", YOUR_SISTER => "LazyGirl" );
static $args = array( YOUR_MOTHER => array(), YOUR_FATHER => array( "55170-054", TRUE ), YOUR_BROTHER => array(), YOUR_SISTER => array() );
function GetDispatch( $fromwhere )
{
return call_user_func_array( array( self, self::$dispatch[$fromwhere] ), self::$args[$fromwhere] );
}
function Mom()
{
return "Mommy loves you!";
}
function GetPrisonInmate( $PrisonerID, $GoodBehavior )
{
//Check prison records for his ID, then....
if ( $GoodBehavior )
{
$parole = "APPROVED";
}
else
{
$parole = "DENIED";
}
return "Your father (#$PrisonerID) has $remaining years left in his sentence. His most recent parole application has been: $parole";
}
function ReplaceName()
{
return "Her name is Sally now.";
}
function LazyGirl()
{
print "Your sister needs to get out more....";
//sleep( pow( 60, 2 ) * 18 ); //You can sleep later!
die( "Nah, I'm too tired." );
}
}

For those of you that have to consider performance: it takes about 3 times as long to call the function this way than via a straight statement, so whenever it is feasible to avoid this method it's a wise idea to do so.
Note that eval() is about 10 times slower than a straight statement to call a function with arguments, so this is definitely a better option than using eval() even if you only consider performance.

It appears that it is safe to pass an associative array in for $param_arr. The parameters will still be passed in the order the elements appear in the array, not alphabetical key order.

I recently had
<?php
call_user_func_array('MyClass::myFunction', array(0, 10));
?>
working on my home server, but when I uploaded it to a host with a different version of PHP it stopped working and gave the error message "call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: Unable to call MyClass::myFunction()" The solution I found was to use this instead:
<?php
call_user_func_array(array('MyClass', 'myFunction'), array(0, 10));
?>

Just a heads up, the second parameter MUST be an array if it's specified, but that doesn't seem to be enforced until ~5.3.
I just pulled my hair out with an old installation of CakePHP because it was passing NULL instead of an empty array.

If you are using PHP < 5.3 and want to call the parent class' __construct() with a variable parameter list, use this:
<?php
public function __construct()
{
$vArgs = func_get_args(); // you can't just put func_get_args() into a function as a parameter
call_user_func_array(array('parent', '__construct'), $vArgs);
}

Just hope this note helps someone (I killed the whole day on issue).
If you use something like this in PHP < 5.3:
<?php call_user_func_array(array($this, 'parent::func'), $args); ?>
Such a script will cause segmentation fault in your webserver.
In 5.3 you should write it:
<?php call_user_func_array('parent::func', $args); ?>

If you want to use call_user_func_array to call an objects constructor, this works for me:
<?php
$obj = new $object_class();
call_user_func_array(array($obj, '__construct'), $args);
?>
(However it does depend on having a constructor where all arguments are optional, which may or may not be possible)
So this is a two part initiation, the object gets initiated with no arguments first (hence requiring options constructor params), and then __construct gets called again. Thus, you should not do anything in your constructor that triggers effects outside the class... it should just set the objects state.

Those having the passing by reference issue can use this simple hack.
I´m really not sure WHY this works, but it does, and it does not make use of EVAL or other questionable functions.
<?php
function executeHook($name, $type='hooks'){
$args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args);
array_shift($args);
//Rather stupid Hack for the call_user_func_array();
$Args = array();
foreach($args as $k => &$arg){
$Args[$k] = &$arg;
}
//End Hack
$hooks = &$this->$type;
if(!isset($hooks[$name])) return false;
$hook = $hooks[$name];
call_user_func_array($hook, $Args);
}
?>
All it´s doing is copying the args ($args) into a new array ($Args) by reference, which i would think would be identical to the original array in every way (that matters).
Note the code here is an example of usage. The actual hack is denoted by comments.
If someone knows a better alternative, by all means, i would love to see it.

I just noticed that when you use this function with parameters that need to be passed by reference it will not work.
<?php
function refFunc(&$var)
{
$var .= 'bar';
}
$var = 'foo';
?>
call_user_func_array('refFunc', array($var));
echo $var;
will output 'foo' and not 'foobar'. Witch is logical since you are declaring a new variable with array($var) however not so obvious.

It appears that when PHP executes something like:
$a = array(1,2,3);
$b =& $a[1];
both $b and $a[1] are converted into references to a common value -- makes sense until you transfer that to a call_user_func:
call_user_func_array('foo', $a);
suddenly, inside foo, the second parameter is passed by reference!
And you can't call this wrong, only another subtly of references.
Note it appears that ksort($a) will remove the reference as well as put the elements in key order so you (probably) get what you expect. (see below on the use of a foreach ($a as &v).)
dnhuff at acm.org
07-Jun-2008 01:38
the order of argument correspondence from the array to the function formal parameters is by 'natural order' of the array and not explicit numerical key order.
So: $a[0] = 'arg 1'; $a[2] = 'arg 2'; $a[1] = 'arg 3';
call_user_func_array('foo', $a);
delivers the args to foo in the order the keys were inserted! as in...
foo($a[0], $a[2], $a[1]);
if you wanted something else, ksort the array first.

There's a possibility that call_user_func_array(), call_user_func(), and Exception::getTrace() will cause a trace entry to not have the 'file' or 'line' elements.

If you are thinking of using call_user_func_array to instantiate an object (see comments below using Reflection) then since v5.1.3 you can use the Reflection::newInstanceArgs() method.
<?php
// arguments you wish to pass to constructor of new object
$args = array('a', 'b');
// class name of new object
$className = 'myCommand';
// make a reflection object
$reflectionObj = new ReflectionClass($className);
// use Reflection to create a new instance, using the $args
$command = $reflectionObj->newInstanceArgs($args);
// this is the same as: new myCommand('a', 'b');

Regarding the comments below about calling parent constructors:
PHP5 with E_STRICT no longer allows calls as below:
<?php
// Causes an error with E_STRICT
call_user_func_array(array('parent', '__construct'), $args);
?>
It gives an error because you are trying to call a nonstatic function as if it was static. The correct syntax is
<?php
// Works fine
call_user_func_array(array($this, 'parent::__construct'), $args);
?>

* @param array $params array containing parameters to be passed to the function using their name (ie array key)
*/
function call_user_func_named($function, $params)
{
// make sure we do not throw exception if function not found: raise error instead...
// (oh boy, we do like php 4 better than 5, don't we...)
if (!function_exists($function))
{
trigger_error('call to unexisting function '.$function, E_USER_ERROR);
return NULL;
}

if ($param->isPassedByReference())
{
/// @todo shall we raise some warning?

{
$real_params[] = $params[$pname];
}
else if ($param->isDefaultValueAvailable()) {
$real_params[] = $param->getDefaultValue();

{
// missing required parameter: mark an error and exit

Here is another version of createObjArray() function written here earlier by taylor.
Believing that using 'eval()' is at least "dirty", I came to the following solution (with a help of panchous - at phpclub dot ru forums ). This solution utilizes the new Reflection API.
<?php
function & createObjArray($type, $args = array()) {
$reflection = new ReflectionClass($type);
$output = call_user_func_array(array(&$reflection, 'newInstance'), $args);
return $output;
}
?>

Just an extra for the post of amer at o2 dot pl:
If you need to call the PARENT method:
call_user_func_array(array('parent', 'method'), $args);
With that, if you need to call a constructor and/or add some extra code to the instantiation process:
<?php
function __construct() {
// Get the arguments
$args = func_get_args();
// Initialize parent with arguments
call_user_func_array(array('parent', '__construct'), $args);
// ... Your Code Here ...
}
?>
Note that your constructor pass all the arguments to the parent constructor and it doesn't matter how many arguments you pass.
This is pretty useful for constructors with a variable number of arguments.

I came up with a better solution to the problem that I solve below with createObjArray that maintains parameter type:
<?php
function createObjArray($type,$args=array()) {
$paramstr = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < count($args); $i++) {
$paramstr .= '$args['.$i.'],';
}
$paramstr = rtrim($paramstr,',');
return eval("return new $type($paramstr);");
}
?>
Would be good to add error checking, but it works.

<?php

there>>"What I wanted to do is create an object that can manage any number and any kind of parameters."
BUT IT IS NOT A POINT AT ALL
If you need to call just function with parameters:
call_user_func_array('Foo',$args);
If you need to call CLASS method (NOT object):
call_user_func_array(array('class', 'Foo'),$args);
If you need to call OBJECT method:
call_user_func_array(array(&$Object, 'Foo'),$args);
If you need to call method of object of object:
call_user_func_array(array(&$Object->Object, 'Foo'),$args);
If you need to call object method from within the very same object (NOT CLASS!):
call_user_func_array(array(&$this, 'Foo'),args);
The call_user_func_array ITSELF can manage any number and any kind of parameters. It can handle ANY FUNCTION too as it is defined and that maybe partipaq wanted to manage.
What You actually need is object composition not inheritance. Make an instance from arguments.
<?php
...
class B{
function __construct() {
$args = func_get_args(); // Get arguments
$this->OBJ = new A($args);
call_user_func_array(array(&$this->OBJ, 'A'), $args );
}
}
?>
Then there can be any number and any type of created object B parameters

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;
}
?>

I just started using PHP 5.0 and, so far, I'm loving it ! However, I had a problem the other day and thought it would be a good idea to inform other programmers about the solution I found to get around it. It concerns the new __constructor() function and the call_user_func_array() function. What I wanted to do is create an object that can manage any number and any kind of parameters. Here's the problematic code:
<?php
//--------------------------
class A {
function __construct() {
$args = func_get_args(); // Get arguments
// Class initialization...
}
function A() {
$args = func_get_args(); // Get arguments
call_user_func_array( array(&$this, '__construct'), $args ); // Infinite loop to B::__construct()...
}
}
class B {
function __construct() {
$args = func_get_args(); // Get arguments
call_user_func_array( array(&$this, 'A'), $args ); // Initialize parent with arguments
// Class initialization...
}
}
$obj = new B( 'param1', 'param2' );
//--------------------------
?>
I suppose you can guess where the problem is located... In the A::A() function, the call to __construct() using call_user_func_array() is redirected to B::__construct() instead of A::__construct(). The only way I found to specify which constructor function I wanted to call was to stop using A::__construct() and use the old fashion constructor instead. If anyone can find a better way, feel free to add comments. Here's my solution. Hope it helps anyone.
<?php
//--------------------------
class A {
function A() {
$args = func_get_args(); // Get arguments
// Class initialization...
}
}
class B {
function __construct() {
$args = func_get_args(); // Get arguments
call_user_func_array( array(&$this, 'A'), $args ); // Initialize parent with arguments
// Class initialization...

call_user_func_array can pass parameters as reference:
<?php
call_user_func_array(array(&$obj,$method),array(&$arg1,$arg2,$arg3))
?>
Use it as work-around for "Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated".

call_user_func_array() is nifty for calling PHP functions which use variable argument length. For example:
<?php
$array = array(
array("foo", "bar"),
array("bat", "rat"),
);
$values = call_user_func_array("array_merge", $array);
var_dump($values);
?>
/* output:
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(3) "foo"
[1]=>
string(3) "bar"
[2]=>
string(3) "bat"
[3]=>
string(3) "rat"
}
*/
The neat feature is that $array could have any number of arrays inside it.

If you need to call object and class methods in PHP < 4.0.4, the following code ought to do the trick:
<?php
if (!function_exists('call_user_func_array')) {
function call_user_func_array($func, $args)
{
$argString = '';
$comma = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < count($args); $i ++) {
$argString .= $comma . "\$args[$i]";
$comma = ', ';
}
if (is_array($func)) {
$obj =& $func[0];
$meth = $func[1];
if (is_string($func[0])) {
eval("\$retval = $obj::\$meth($argString);");
} else {
eval("\$retval = \$obj->\$meth($argString);");
}
} else {
eval("\$retval = \$func($argString);");
}
return $retval;
}
}
?>

This function, combined with some others, can allow you to make some really easy & generic function macros (since real macros don't exist in PHP yet).
<?php
function my_printf() {
$args = func_get_args();
return call_user_func_array('printf', $args);
}
?>
This allows you to use my_printf() just as if it were printf() itself. Very useful since you don't have to worry about how many arguments any functions take.

Unified constructors in PHP4:
<?php
class Object {
function Object() {
$args= func_get_args();
call_user_func_array(array(&$this, '__construct'), $args);
}
function __construct($args= NULL) {
var_dump($args);
}
}
class Exception extends Object {
var
$message;
function __construct($message) {
$this->message= $message;
parent::__construct();
}
}
class IOException extends Exception {
}
var_dump(
error_reporting(),
zend_version(),
phpversion()
);
$c= new IOException('file not found');
echo '===> Result: '; var_dump($c);
?>
