Member Function Documentation
| fpoirotte\XRL\CallableInterface::__invoke | ( | ) |
Implementation of the __invoke() magic method.
This method is present only for forward-compatibility and because it turns instances of fpoirotte::XRL::CallableInterface into callables themselves (ain't that neat?).
- Warning
- Use fpoirotte::XRL::CallableInterface::invoke(...) instead of calling this method directly or relying on its magic with code such as: $c = new \\fpoirotte\\XRL\\CallableObject("var_dump");$c(42);
| fpoirotte\XRL\CallableInterface::__toString | ( | ) |
Alias for fpoirotte::XRL::CallableInterface::getRepresentation().
- Return values
-
string Human representation of this callable.
Implemented in fpoirotte\XRL\CallableObject.
| fpoirotte\XRL\CallableInterface::getCallable | ( | ) |
Returns the callable object in its raw form (as used by PHP).
- Return values
-
string The name of the function this callable represents, which can be either a core function, a user-defined function, or the result of a call to create_function(). array An array whose contents matches the definition of a PHP callback, that is: - The first element refers to either an object, a class name or one of the reserved keywords (self, parent, static, etc.).
- The second element is the name of a method from that object/class.
object Either a Closure object or an instance of a class that implements the __invoke() magic method.
Implemented in fpoirotte\XRL\CallableObject.
| fpoirotte\XRL\CallableInterface::getReflector | ( | ) |
Get a reflection objets for the function/method/object represented by this callable.
- Return values
-
Reflector Reflection object for this callable's inner PHP callback.
Implemented in fpoirotte\XRL\CallableObject.
| fpoirotte\XRL\CallableInterface::getRepresentation | ( | ) |
Returns a human representation of this callable. For (anonymous) functions, this is a string containing the name of that function. For methods and classes that implement the __invoke() magic method (including Closures), this is a string of the form "ClassName::methodname".
- Return values
-
string Human representation of this callable.
Implemented in fpoirotte\XRL\CallableObject.
