Can a method be used as an array_map function

array-map, methods, php

Solution

Yes, you can have callbacks to methods, like this:

array_map(array($instance, 'fun'), $ar)

see the callback type in PHP's manual for more info

Problem

I want to do something like this: ``` class Cls { function fun($php) { return 'The rain in Spain.'; } } $ar = array(1,2,3); $instance = new Cls(); print_r(array_map('$instance->fun', $ar)); // ^ this won't work ``` but the first argument to array_map is supposed to be the name of the function. I want to avoid writing a wrapper function around $instance->fun, but it doesn't seem like that's possible. Is that true?
