return function in class

[Jeff]

I had this little bit of code:

function parseTemplateDa ta($file){
$file2=preg_rep lace_callback(
"/<edit(.*?)>/s",
"parseEditT ag",
$file);
echo $file2;
}

and that did what I needed, so I thought I'll put it in a class:

class FOO{

public function parseTemplateDa ta($file){
$file2=preg_rep lace_callback(
"/<edit(.*?)>/s",
"parseEditT ag",
$file);
echo $file2;
}

public function parseEditTag($t ag_content){
....

}

It is, of course looking for parseEditTag *outside* the class. So, I
thought:

$file2=preg_rep lace_callback(
"/<edit(.*?)>/s",
"$this->parseEditTag ",
$file);

Which failed.

Then I thought:

$file2=preg_rep lace_callback(
"/<edit(.*?)>/s",
EDIT_PAGE::pars eEditTag(),
$file);

Now that calls the function, but doesn't pass in the match.

So I thought I'd try to use create_function . But even if I could
figure out how to pass in the matches, I still can't get it to call the
method in the class.

So, I'm thinking there must be another plan. Or another beer.

Maybe I'm just thinking too perl!

Valid callbacks are:
$callback = 'function_name' ;
$callback = array($instance ofObject,'metho d_name');
$callback = array('ClassNam e','static_meth od_name'));

If you went to the manual for preg_replace_ca llback:
http://nl2.php.net/preg_replace_callback
...and clicked on 'callback', you end up here:
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/languag...ypes..callback

<?php
class Foo{
function test(){
echo preg_replace_ca llback('/a/',array($this,' funcname'),"aca c");
echo preg_replace_ca llback('/a/',array('Bar',' funcname'),"aca c");
echo preg_replace_ca llback('/a/','funcname',"a cacacaca");
}
function funcname(){
return 'b';
}
}
class Bar{
static function funcname(){
return 'd';
}
}
function funcname(){
return 'e';
}
$f = new Foo();
$f->test();
?>

Thanks for the following example, it's perfectly clear.

And since the next thing on my list to learn was "call_user_func ", I've
already learned that with the 'callback' lesson!
