runkit7_function_redefine — Replace a function definition with a new implementation

Description

    string $function_name,
    string $argument_list,
    string $code,
    bool $return_by_reference = null,
    string $doc_comment = null,
    string $return_type = ?,
    bool $is_strict = ?
): bool
runkit7_function_redefine(
    string $function_name,
    Closure $closure,
    string $doc_comment = null,
    string $return_type = ?,
    bool $is_strict = ?
): bool

Name of function to redefine

argument_list

New list of arguments to be accepted by function

code

New code implementation

closure

A closure that defines the function.

Examples

Example #1 A runkit7_function_redefine() example

<?php
function testme() {
  echo "Original Testme Implementation\n";
