I have two functions and want to when $test=one, function1() runs and when $test=two, function2() runs. Like this:

switch ($test)
 {

case "one":
function1();
break;

case "two":
function2();
break;

 }

Now how do it (selecting) via array? any body know?

how set key of array on function ? something like this:

array("one"=>function1(),"two"=>function2());

  • no, echo string of 'test', or run a function. Commented Apr 18, 2015 at 14:58

<?php
function func1()
{
    print "111\n";
}

function func2()
{
    print "222\n";
}

//put functions names into an array
$functions = array(
    'one' => "func1",
    'two' => "func2",
);

$test = 'two';

if(isset($functions[$test]))
{
    call_user_func($functions[$test]);
}

Output:

222

your solution is great, but i don't want any if and function like call_user_func(); . anyway tnx for Training call_user_func(); to me. :)
can you tell me which one is better ? call_user_func($functions[$test]); OR $functions[$test]();
@Fatemeh It's actually the same - php has to search for the function with appropriate name in it's functions table. The difference is only in syntax.

The answer of user4035 is correct, but in other word we can use:

$arr[$test]();

instead 

call_user_func($arr[$test]);

then: (full code) :

  function func1(){
    echo 'func1 runing';
        }

  function func2(){
    echo 'func2 runing';
        }

     $test='one';

     $arr=array ('one'=>'func1','two'=>'func2');
     $arr[$test]();

output:

func1 runing
