Consider this:

$x=new MyClass;
$x->y=function($name){return "Hi, $name";};

to call the closure I use call_user_func($x->y,'Hasan') that it's not so clean and convenient. Is there any better syntax? Perhaps similar to $x->y("Hasan") (which does not work.)

Maybe [Code Review](http://codereview.stackexchange.com/) is a better place to ask if there is actually no problem – Brewal Nov 04 '15 at 09:33

What specifically do you consider unclean or inconvenient about `call_user_func($x->y,'Hasan')`? – Mark Baker Nov 04 '15 at 09:34
And perhaps you should consider Anonymous classes instead.... though that requires PHP7 – Mark Baker Nov 04 '15 at 09:35
Note that you can also set a new variable to point to $x->y which can be accessed as a function.... `$x=new stdClass; $x->y=function($name){return "Hi, $name";}; $greetings = $x->y; echo $greetings('Hasan');` – Mark Baker Nov 04 '15 at 09:43
what if you use static function in class? – Irakli Chikvaidze Nov 04 '15 at 09:47
for example: class MyClass{ public static function y($name){echo "Hi, $name";} } $x=new MyClass; $x::y('name'); – Irakli Chikvaidze Nov 04 '15 at 09:49
