Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52630&edit=1 ID: 52630 Comment by: giorgio dot liscio at email dot it Reported by: giorgio dot liscio at email dot it Summary: additional syntax for closures Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Variables related Operating System: all PHP Version: 5.3.3 Assigned To: stas Block user comment: N New Comment: any alternative syntax can be good if the result is the same, defining end invoking on the same instruction without using any var now: $f = function($x) use($y){return $x * $y;}; $f(22); request: (function($x) use($y) {return $x * $y;})(22); or function($x) use($y) {return $x * $y;}(22); or function($x) use($y) invoke(22) {return $x * $y;}; etc Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-17 22:21:17] kalle@php.net I belive stas' had a patch for this? Or atleast function call chaining, but I assume if implemented it would allow this syntax? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-17 22:17:26] giorgio dot liscio at email dot it Description: ------------ hi, would be nice having this syntax for closures $this->addResult ( ( function ($param) use ($x) { return $x*$param; } )($result) ); a closure defined and executed in the same instruction, as JavaScript allows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52630&edit=1
