not that im aware of, even if you use the operator overloading extension, im
not sure youll find that ability.
I can use the BC library's math functions instead:

i dont know how bad that is really, i guess it depends on the distribution
scope of the application. if its in a controlled environment, id just say
install bcmath and forget it.
I can create an anonymous function:
> array_map(create_function('$a, $b', 'return $a + $b;'), $array1, $array2)
> but that seems really unnecessarily verbose.
well, youll just have to wait for 5.3 and its new lambda notation, youll be
able to do this (something close anyway :)),
array_map(function($a, $b) { return $a + $b; }, $array1, $array2);
it doesnt look like much difference here, but create_function() gets a lot
worse w/ functions any less trivial than adding 2 numbers.
Is there any simple clean way to do it? Thanks,
i think youre beating your head against the wall for no good reason. your
solutions are fine, just pick one and roll w/ it ;)

Joe napsal(a):
Is it possible to use a PHP operator as a callback? Suppose I want to add two
arrays elementwise, I want to be able to do something like this:
array_map('+', $array1, $array2)
but this doesn't work as "+" is an operator and not a function.
I can use the BC library's math functions instead:
array_map('bcadd', $array1, $array2)
but that is an ugly hack that might break if the library is not available.
I can create an anonymous function:
array_map(create_function('$a, $b', 'return $a + $b;'), $array1, $array2)
but that seems really unnecessarily verbose.
Is there any simple clean way to do it? Thanks,
array_sum() ?

Any/All:
For those of you who were asking about the PHP Text-To-Speech
system I had running, it's back online now. If you have a few free
seconds, please take a look at http://www.pilotpig.net/txt2wav.php and
let me know if it's working for sure in your browser and on your OS.
With a bit more time being available to devote to non-paid
projects, and hopefully getting a bit better still in the next week or
so, I've had time to be able to work more with the PHP project and the
PHP-VOX. When I make enough improvements to the installation routines
so that folks can easily do it on their own servers, I'll have the
source available for download.
Thanks, everyone. Hope you're all enjoying the weekend.

Works ok for me on FFox v2 and v3 on my Windows XP machines, but when
trying it on IE v6.0 the speech is played back REALLY fast. Like super
chipmunk style.
I tried a duration of 5.5, but that mainly just made the pauses between
the words longer, but was still very high pitched and fast.
Also, it's really annoying that the text that I just typed in to test
disappears. I HATE it when websites forget what I just input, and when
writing scripts I hate loosing or throwing away user input.
But still, good work on the VOX, too bad all text to speech synthesisers
I've used sound like a computer. My Dad blurted out when I first went to
your site 'Ohh I was playing with text to speech 30 years ago.'
I can see things like this being a big plus for usability.

Sorry, no idea what you're talking about. I take there's been a heated
(read: fun) discussion recently?
