[Resolved] variables and functions

[Cam_Turn]

Hey guys, is it possible to assign a function name (not a function) to a variable?

function bar()
{
return 1;
}
$func = bar;

Also, what's the point of variable parameters for a function when you can use an array?

Thanks, bye

You can do things like

function foo(){
  echo "1";
}
$bar = "foo";
$bar(); // Echoes 1

Passing parameters to a function is sometimes more useful than passing everything as an array. For example you can give parameters default values, making them optional.
