Обращение к функциям через переменные
PHP поддерживает концепцию переменных функций. Это означает, что если к имени переменной присоединены круглые скобки, PHP ищет функцию с тем же именем, что и результат вычисления переменной, и пытается ее выполнить. Эту возможность можно использовать для реализации обратных вызовов, таблиц функций и множества других вещей.
Переменные функции не будут работать с такими языковыми конструкциями как echo(), print(), unset(), isset(), empty(), include(), require() и другими подобными им операторами. Вам необходимо реализовывать свою функцию-обертку (wrapper) для того, чтобы приведенные выше конструкции могли работать с переменными функциями.
Пример #1 Работа с функциями посредством переменных
<?php
function foo() {
echo "In foo()<br />\n";
}
function bar($arg = '')
{
echo "In bar(); argument was '$arg'.<br />\n";
}
// Функция-обертка для echo
function echoit($string)
{
echo $string;
}
$func = 'foo';
$func(); // Вызывает функцию foo()
$func = 'bar';
$func('test'); // Вызывает функцию bar()
$func = 'echoit';
$func('test'); // Вызыывет функцию echoit()
?>
Вы также можете вызвать методы объекта, используя возможности PHP для работы с переменными функциями.
Пример #2 Обращение к методам класса посредством переменных
<?php
class Foo
{
function Variable()
{
$name = 'Bar';
$this->$name(); // Вызываем метод Bar()
}
function Bar()
{
echo "This is Bar";
}
}
$foo = new Foo();
$funcname = "Variable";
$foo->$funcname(); // Обращаемся к $foo->Variable()
?>

While the documentation suggests that the use of a constant is similar to the use of a variable, there is an exception regarding variable functions. You cannot use a constant as the function name to call a variable function.
const DEBUGME ='func';
function func($s) { echo $s. "\n"; }
DEBUGME('abc'); // results in a syntax error
$call = DEBUGME;
$call('abc'); // does the job
But you can use a constant as an argument to a function. Here's a simple workaround when you need to call a variable constant function:
function dynamic($what, $with)
{
$what($with);
}
dynamic(DEBUGME, 'abc');
This makes sense to me to hide API's and/or long (complicated) static calls.
Enjoy!

/*
You might have found yourself at this php variable functions page because, like me, you wanted to pass functions
around like objects to client objects as you can in JavaScript. The issue I ran into was although
I could call a function using a variable like this " $v(); "...I could not do it like this " $obj->p() " where
'p' is a property containing the name of the method to call. Did not want to save my property off to a variable prior
to making my call: " $v = $obj->p; $v(); "; even if one finds a way, the below applies...
I credit this expanded work to this person: tatarynowicz at gmail dot com;
without them I would not have gotten here.
