It's better off to read the documentation anyways, plus it gives the op an insight where to reference any other topics in the future.

If you want to create a class which objects are callable (in PHP 5.3), than you need to defined __invoke magic method in your class, e.g.

<?php class MyClass { public function __invoke($x) { var_dump($x); } } $myObject = new MyClass(); $myObject(2); // output: init(2) ?>
