Function pointer?

[hawksbill]

Does PHP have anything like a C/C++ function pointer?

[eelixduppy]

pointers? - not that I know of. It has references [us.php.net], though, if you are still interested.

I've never coded in C or C++, but from what little I've read in the last five minutes about function pointers, you may be interested in variable functions [us3.php.net]. :)

There is no as such Function pointer in PHP as far as I go, but a C equivalent of pointers can be achieved by passing a function name as an argument to a second function. Then you can call the function which you just passed on.
