[wp-hackers] Is there a way to get the callback function name out of a shortcode _programmatically_?

[Nikola Nikolov]

You can access the global $shortcode_tags variable. If you want to wrap it
in a function, it would look something like this:

function get_shortcode_callback_for( $shortcode ) {
    return isset( $GLOBALS['shortcode_tags'][ $shortcode ] ) ?
$GLOBALS['shortcode_tags'][ $shortcode ] : false;
}

This will return the callback for the shortcode tag that you passed, or
false if such shortcode hasn't been registered yet.

Note, that the returned callback can be any type of
callable<http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.callable.php>,
So - you should use is_callable( $callback )<http://us3.php.net/is_callable> in
order to check if the parameter is actually callable.
