So I have a callback function set up and I figured out the most efficient way for my code to run and to not need to repeat queries would be to get a variable, made by the callback function and use it out side of the function.
So I have a function like so:
// Not as important.
myCallbackFunction(callable $callback) {
// Some stuff executed.
$callback($VARIABLE);
}
// Front end of the code
$OBJECT->myCallbackFunction(function($RANDOM)) {
$id = 1; // Example number that is given.
});
So I needed the $id
variable from the callback function, so I added this code in the front end:
global $id;
Trying to use that variable comes as if it is empty but it is there.
Is there a another way to get variables from callback functions? I'm new to callbacks so I'm sorry if this has been asked before or is a simple fix.
You need to return the variable from your callback, then it will be available to code that invokes it, e.g.
<?php
function runCallback($callback) {
$id = $callback();
echo $id; // 1234
}
runCallback(function() {
$id = 1234;
return $id;
});
