function

Hello everybody!

I've been wondering whether is possible or not to pass a function as parameter in PHP; I want something like when you're programming in JS:

object.exampleMethod(function(){
    // some stuff to execute
});

What I want is to execute that function somewhere in exampleMethod. Is that possible in PHP?

Thank you so much.
