[RESOLVED] Storing functions in a variable
Is it possible to store a function itself NOT the value that it returns in a variable?
I’m trying to create an array I can use to formulate insert statements, but I need to calculate the data for the insert statements. I don’t want to have to edit 3 places when I want to add a field or change a calculation.
Something like this:
[code=php]
$columns = array
(
[FIELD1] => CALCULATION / FUNCTION,
[FIELD2] => CALCULATION / FUNCTION
);
Any ideas?

$functions = array (
['f1'] => 'function_one',
['f2'] => 'function_two',
['f3'] => 'function_three'
);
[/code]Then anywhere you need to use function_two(), for example:
[code=php]
call_user_func($functions['f2'], $param1, $param2);
[/code]But as I said, it's not really clear to me what you want, so I may be totally off-base here.
