#TIL you can call an object like a function in #PHP.

todayilearned.net/2025/03/call…

In PHP, you can "call" an object like a function. The class just needs to implement the __invoke magic method: <?php class MyVeryConfusedClass { public function __invoke($param1) { echo "Hello $param1!"; } } $whatever = new MyVeryConfusedClass(); $whatever('person'); // greets you Final thoughts: Just .. why. Also, how am I just hearing about this after a full 20 years of actively working in PHP? And apparently this has been available since version 5.3? Who is actually using this?

I like using it for single-action controllers.

Or single-method event listeners. It's even the recommended approach for Tukio.
