Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52630&edit=1 ID: 52630 Updated by: kalle@php.net 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: I like the: function($x) use($y) {return $x * $y;}(22); approach, its consistent with that of other languages, like JavaScript Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-17 22:41:04] giorgio dot liscio at email dot it 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
