Make for loop function that run another function

Question

Is possible to make for loop function for php, that works like this

function hit(){

}

function forLoop($function, $times) {

for($x = 0; $x < $times; $x++) {
    $function;
}

$this->forLoop($function, 5);

For sure! Just try it out. (Typo 1: forgot 1 closing curly bracket for the forLoop function Typo 2: parentheses for the function call: $function();) — Rizier123

If your code is in a class context e.g. class declaration and $this->getScore Is holding a name for a function sure why not? — Rizier123

This can be done with the call_user_func function:

function hit(){
    echo "hello !";
}

function forLoop($function, $times) {

    for($x = 0; $x < $times; $x++) {
        call_user_func($function);
    }
}

forLoop('hit', 5);

You also can simply write: $function();

for ($hole = 0; $hole < 18; $hole++) { $function; } public function generateCourse($course, $type) { $this->runFunction($this->generateHole($hole), $type); }
