Is it possible that pass a function name as a argument in an other function?

Is it possible that pass a function name as a argument in an other function?

e.g.

MainMenu($SubMenu)
{
//Main menu designing start
if(.......&&......||.......&&.......)
{
$this->$Submenu; // different submenus
exit;
}
//Main menu designing end
}

$this->$Submenu() should work i guess,

but there are php functions for that

http://php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func.php

http://php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func-array.php

and etc...

Error on $
$this->$Submenu()

The $Submenu variable you are using is spelled $SubMenu in your function parameter list. (The M is upper-case in the parameter list.)

You can use both class and function name strings to construct/execute them.
For example:
[code=php]<?php
class foo
{
function bar() {
echo "Hello, world!";
}
}

$class_name = "foo";
$func_name = "bar";

$inst = new $class_name;
$inst->$func_name() ;
?>[/code]
This prints "Hello, world!".

this is typing mistake.my question is still there.

Your question has been answered sufficiently. Please review the replies to this thread.

Where is the function which call bar() as an argument?
What about if ten functions pass as an argument one by one?

there ain’t, because the call is executed in global scope. in the end, you pass the name (a string) and then execute that by adding ();

What about if ten functions pass as an argument one by one?

I don’t see the problem. (except I totally misunderstand your problem)

[chathura86]

have you get a chance to read those links i sent, i think that will explain all your problems

function call_custom_function($function_name, $arg1, $arg2, $arg3) {
    if (function_exists($function_name)) {
        $result = $function_name($arg1, $arg2, $arg3);
        //function (that was passed as argument) executed
    }
    //do something if function does not exist
}

[iskhan]

function call_custom_function($function_name, $arg1, $arg2, $arg3) {
    if (function_exists($function_name)) {
        $result = $function_name($arg1, $arg2, $arg3);
        //function (that was passed as argument) executed
    }
    //do something if function does not exist
}

Yes this is the answer I required. Thanks.
One more thing if this function is in the base class and argument functions are in the sub class then where I define the assignment of argument functions and how?
