Question

I need to pass a function as a parameter to another function and then call the passed function from within the function…This is probably easier for me to explain in code..I basically want to do something like this:

function ($functionToBeCalled) {    call($functionToBeCalled,additional_params); } 

Is there a way to do that.. I am using PHP 4.3.9

Thanks!

I think you are looking for call_user_func.

An example from the PHP Manual:

<?php function barber($type) {     echo "You wanted a $type haircut, no problem"; } call_user_func('barber', "mushroom"); call_user_func('barber', "shave"); ?>
