You can make a recursive call to an anonymous 1 function by doing

arguments.callee( .... );

See here for more info.

There are two problems you are running into:

1. the function handler will only be passed the event object.
2. the function is not named, so you can't refer to it for recursion

Solution for 2:

This is the easier 13 of the two. Typically the reason for using 12 anonymous functions is to keep a namespace 11 clean. Parentheses define a local namespace, so 10 after giving the function a name it will 9 not be accessible outside the parentheses. The 8 following will work for you:

$('.someclass').onClick( function dosomething(){
    ... your code ...
    dosomething() //again
});
dosomething() // will cause scope error, function not defined

Solution for 1:

This is a little 7 more difficult. Since the only thing passed 6 to the function is the event object you 5 will need to extend that to pass in values. Fortunately, it 4 turns out that jQuery has a system just for this!

$('.someclass').on( 'click', {myvar: 0}, function dosomething(event){
    ... your code ...
    event.data.myvar = event.data.myvar + 1;
    dosomething(event) //again
});

Note: this 3 is especially useful for when you must attach 2 and detach a handler to prevent inifinite 1 loops like with DOMSubtreeModified.

$('.someclass').on( 'DOMSubtreeModified.mynamespace', {myvar: 0}, function myfunc( event ){
    $(this).off( 'DOMSubtreeModified.mynamespace' );
    ... Some Code that changes .someclass subtree ...
    event.data.myvar = event.data.myvar + 1;
    $(this).on( 'DOMSubtreeModified.mynamespace', {myvar: event.data.myvar}, myfunc );
});

Something of this sort should do the trick, but 2 there ought to be a nicer way to set it 1 up:

function myfunc() {
    var id = $('#media-photo img').attr('id');
    var href = $(this).attr('href');
    href = href.split('/');
    var p = href[href.length - 1];
    var url = '/view/album-photos/id/' + id + '/p/' + p;

    $.get(url, function(data) {
        $('.box-content2').replaceWith('<div class="box-content2"' + data + '</div>');
    });

    if(!cond){//you need a condition, or it'll recurse indefinitely.
       myfunc();
    }

    return false;
}

$('a.previous-photos, a.next-photos').click(function(){myfunc();});

From Javascript 1.2 onwards you can use 2 arguments.callee(...) to effect a recursive call to an anonymous 1 function

// here I want to call the function again
arguments.callee();

Put your code in a jQuery plugin format 2 and call itself for example...

(function($) {
$.fn.togglethis = function () {
    $(this).animate({opacity:"1.0"}, 1000, function() {
        /* Code Here */
        return $(this);
    });

}
})(jQuery);
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#togglethis").togglethis();
});
