This will not work.
As stated in the PHP documentation "Static closures cannot have any bound
object "
A static Closure has no context of "this" just as with any other static
object.
A workaround is to pass in the Closure as a parameter to achieve a similar
result.
class TestClass {
public static function testMethod($function) {
$testInstance = new TestClass();
$function = $function->bindTo($testInstance);
call_user_func_array($function, [$testInstance]);
// should be true
}
}
TestClass::testMethod(function($param){
var_dump($this === $param);
});
