php - Function in array executed before calling it -

i have array this:

$cmds = array( 'info' => call_user_func('_info', $cmd1), 'e1' => 'something' ); 

the func itself:

function _info($cmd1){ if(strlen($cmd1) < 2){ die('invalid username'); }else{ echo 'cmd1 > 2';} } 

the problem being executed before call giving undefined variable error because $cmd1 not exist yet, exist when call in foreach function. been searching solution hours didn't find. tried setting array 'info' => _info($cmd1) , 'info' => '_info' , putted $cmd1 directly in func

function _info(){ if(strlen($cmd1) < 2){die('invalid'); } 

but still same error being called before want be.

you can send parameters executed later

$cmds = array(     'info' => [ '_info', '$cmd1' ], // single quotes     'e1'   => 'something' ); 

in meantime cmd1 defined

$cmd1 = "hello";  foreach ($cmds $key => $cmdset) {     if (!is_array($cmdset)) {         // e1 =>     } else {         $function = array_shift($cmdset);         foreach ($cmdset &$param) {             // variables treated below, values passed through             if (stripos($param, '$') === 0) {                 // remove $                 $cmd1 = substr($param, 1);                 // set param value of cmd1                 $param = $$param; // variable varaible $$             }         }         call_user_func_array($function, $cmdset);     } } 

while works bad practice this. depending on variable function not clear if set or not. code hard understand.

you should think solution can ensure $cmd1 set or can retrieved , if not have way deal well.
