dynamically calling an array

[Anon]

hi there

i am trying to build a function that takes two parameters - an array, and a reference to another function - and runs the other function, using the array (the whole array) as its parameter.

something like:

function actOnArray ($func, $array) {
eval($func."($array);");
}

this isnt working .. im just writing it to show what im driving at ..

ive rtfm, ive searched these boards, but i can find no answer .. i know this is a basic question, but please help 🙂

imho you need to publish $array or $func as global...

function actOnArray(... )
{
public $func;
public $array;

eval(..)
}

try it.

Have you considered:

function actOnArray ($func, $array) {
$func($array);
}
