is_callable

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5)

is_callable — Verify that the contents of a variable can be called as a function

Описание

bool is_callable ( mixed $var [, bool $syntax_only [, string &$callable_name ]] )

Verify that the contents of a variable can be called as a function. This can check that a simple variable contains the name of a valid function, or that an array contains a properly encoded object and function name.

Список параметров

var

Can be either the name of a function stored in a string variable, or an object and the name of a method within the object, like this:

array($SomeObject, 'MethodName')

syntax_only

If set to TRUE the function only verifies that var might be a function or method. It will only reject simple variables that are not strings, or an array that does not have a valid structure to be used as a callback. The valid ones are supposed to have only 2 entries, the first of which is an object or a string, and the second a string.

callable_name

Receives the "callable name". In the example below it is "someClass:someMethod". Note, however, that despite the implication that someClass::SomeMethod() is a callable static method, this is not the case.

Возвращаемые значения

Returns TRUE if var is callable, FALSE otherwise.
