# create_function

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5)

create_function — Create an anonymous (lambda-style) function

### 설명

string create_function ( string `$args` , string `$code` )

Creates an anonymous function from the parameters passed, and returns a unique name for it.

### 인수

Usually these parameters will be passed as single quote delimited strings. The reason for using single quoted strings, is to protect the variable names from parsing, otherwise, if you use double quotes there will be a need to escape the variable names, e.g. \$avar.

`args`

  The function arguments.

`code`

  The function code.

### 반환값

Returns a unique function name as a string, or `FALSE` on error.

### 예제

Example #1 Creating an anonymous function with create_function()

You can use this function, to (for example) create a function from information gathered at run time:

`<?php
$newfunc = create_function('$a,$b', 'return "ln($a) + ln($b) = " . log($a * $b);');
echo "New anonymous function: $newfunc\n";
echo $newfunc(2, M_E) . "\n";
// outputs
// New anonymous function: lambda_1
// ln(2) + ln(2.718281828459) = 1.6931471805599
?>`

Or, perhaps to have general handler function that can apply a set of operations to a list of parameters:

Example #2 Making a general processing function with create_function()

`<?php
function process($var1, $var2, $farr)
{
foreach ($farr as $f) {
echo $f($var1, $var2) . "\n";
}
}
// create a bunch of math functions
$f1 = 'if ($a >=0) {return "b*a^2 = ".$b*sqrt($a);} else {return false;}';
$f2 = "return \"min(b^2+a, a^2,b) = \".min(\$a*\$a+\$b,\$b*\$b+\$a);";
$f3 = 'if ($a > 0 && $b != 0) {return "ln(a)/b = ".log($a)/$b; } else { return false; }';
$farr = array(
create_function('$x,$y', 'return "some trig: ".(sin($x) + $x*cos($y));'),
create_function('$x,$y', 'return "a hypotenuse: ".sqrt($x*$x + $y*$y);'),
create_function('$a,$b', $f1),
create_function('$a,$b', $f2),
create_function('$a,$b', $f3)
);
echo "\nUsing the first array of anonymous functions\n";
echo "parameters: 2.3445, M_PI\n";
process(2.3445, M_PI, $farr);
// now make a bunch of string processing functions
$garr = array(
create_function('$b,$a', 'if (strncmp($a, $b, 3) == 0) return "** \"$a\" '.
'and \"$b\"\n** Look the same to me! (looking at the first 3 chars)";'),
create_function('$a,$b', '; return "CRCs: " . crc32($a) . " , ".crc32(b);'),
create_function('$a,$b', '; return "similar(a,b) = " . similar_text($a, $b, &$p) . "($p%)";')
);
echo "\nUsing the second array of anonymous functions\n";
process("Twas brilling and the slithy toves", "Twas the night", $garr);
?>`

But perhaps the most common use for of lambda-style (anonymous) functions is to create callback functions, for example when using array_walk() or usort()

Example #3 Using anonymous functions as callback functions

`<?php
$av = array("the ", "a ", "that ", "this ");
array_walk($av, create_function('&$v,$k', '$v = $v . "mango";'));
print_r($av);
?>`

위 예제의 출력:

    Array
    (
      [0] => the mango
      [1] => a mango
      [2] => that mango
      [3] => this mango
    )

an array of strings ordered from shorter to longer

`<?php
$sv = array("small", "larger", "a big string", "it is a string thing");
print_r($sv);
?>`

위 예제의 출력:

    Array
    (
      [0] => small
      [1] => larger
      [2] => a big string
      [3] => it is a string thing
    )

sort it from longer to shorter

`<?php
usort($sv, create_function('$a,$b','return strlen($b) - strlen($a);'));
print_r($sv);
?>`

위 예제의 출력:

    Array
    (
      [0] => it is a string thing
      [1] => a big string
      [2] => larger
      [3] => small
    )
