Registering Class methods as hook callbacks

  • I’m not sure if I have done this correctly.

    As I understand it:

    if I have a class foo and a static method bar I can register that as the callback by passing the array array("foo","bar") as the function name.

    If I have an instance of a class in $foo and want to call the method bar I pass the array array($foo,'bar').

    If I need to register an action inside the class itself would it work with array($this,'bar')?

    I’ve taken a look at the source – WordPress doesn’t do anything special with the variable. It just calls ‘call_user_func_array’ with the function name as a parameter.

    So basically I now need a way of getting the variable that the instance has been assigned to from within the class like:

    class bob()
{
     public function getInstance()
     {
            return object name//THIS IS WHAT I DON'T KNOW
     }

}

$gary = new bob();

$gary->getInstance();//returns 'gary'

    I was correct. You can pass $this as a parameter.
