可変関数
PHP は可変関数(variable functions)の概念をサポートします。 これにより、変数名の後に括弧が付いている場合、その値が何であろうと PHPは、同名の関数を探し実行を試みます。 この機能は、コールバック、関数テーブル等を実装するために使用可能です。
可変関数は、echo, print, isset(), empty(), include, require のような言語構造と組み合わせて使用する ことはできません。これらの言語構造を可変変数として使うには 独自のラッパー関数を使う必要があります。
例1 可変関数の例
<?php
function foo()
{
echo "In foo()<br />\n";
}
function bar($arg = '')
{
echo "In bar(); argument was '$arg'.<br />\n";
}
// これは、echo のラッパー関数です。
function echoit($string)
{
echo $string;
}
$func = 'foo';
$func(); // This calls foo()
$func = 'bar';
$func('test'); // This calls bar()
$func = 'echoit';
$func('test'); // This calls echoit()
?>オブジェクトのメソッドを可変関数を使ってコールすることもできます。
例2 可変メソッドの例
<?php
class Foo
{
function Variable()
{
$name = 'Bar';
$this->$name(); // Bar() メソッドのコール
}
function Bar()
{
echo "This is Bar";
}
}
$foo = new Foo();
$funcname = "Variable";
$foo->$funcname(); // $foo->Variable() をコールする
?>staticメソッドをコールするときには、関数呼び出しのほうがstaticプロパティ演算子よりも優先されます。
例3 staticプロパティを含む可変メソッドの例
<?php
class Foo
{
static $variable = 'static property';
static function Variable()
{
echo 'Method Variable called';
}
}
echo Foo::$variable; // これは 'static property' を表示します。このスコープにおいて $variable が必要です。
$variable = "Variable";
Foo::$variable(); // これは $foo->Variable() をコールします。このスコープでの $variable の内容を読むからです。
?>
例4 複雑な callable
<?php
class Foo
{
static function bar()
{
echo "bar\n";
}
function baz()
{
echo "baz\n";
}
}
$func = array("Foo", "bar");
$func(); // "bar" を表示します
$func = array(new Foo, "baz");
$func(); // "baz" を表示します
$func = "Foo::bar";
$func(); // "bar" を表示します。
?>

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;

For anyone who needs to know this, you can directly call a variable as a function call
$variable_holding_a_function = function () {
return "This is a return statement";
};
$result = $variable_holding_a_function();
echo $result;
