Closure::bindTo
(PHP 5 >= 5.4.0, PHP 7)
Closure::bindTo — Duplicates the closure with a new bound object and class scope
Description
Create and return a new anonymous function with the same body and bound variables as this one, but possibly with a different bound object and a new class scope.
The “bound object” determines the value $this will
have in the function body and the “class scope” represents a class
which determines which private and protected members the anonymous
function will be able to access. Namely, the members that will be
visible are the same as if the anonymous function were a method of
the class given as value of the newscope
parameter.
Static closures cannot have any bound object (the value of the parameter
newthis should be NULL), but this function can
nevertheless be used to change their class scope.
This function will ensure that for a non-static closure, having a bound
instance will imply being scoped and vice-versa. To this end,
non-static closures that are given a scope but a NULL instance are made
static and non-static non-scoped closures that are given a non-null
instance are scoped to an unspecified class.
Note:
If you only want to duplicate the anonymous functions, you can use cloning instead.
Parameters
-
newthis -
The object to which the given anonymous function should be bound, or
NULLfor the closure to be unbound. -
newscope -
The class scope to which associate the closure is to be associated, or 'static' to keep the current one. If an object is given, the type of the object will be used instead. This determines the visibility of protected and private methods of the bound object. It is not allowed to pass (an object of) an internal class as this parameter.
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 7.0.0 |
newscope can not be (an object of) an internal
class anymore, what was possible prior to this version.

Examples
Example #1 Closure::bindTo() example
<?php
class A {
function __construct($val) {
$this->val = $val;
}
function getClosure() {
//returns closure bound to this object and scope
return function() { return $this->val; };
}
}
$ob1 = new A(1);
$ob2 = new A(2);
$cl = $ob1->getClosure();
echo $cl(), "\n";
$cl = $cl->bindTo($ob2);
echo $cl(), "\n";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
