anonymous_function sounds good too, but it's really kind of verbose. Maybe new_function()? I have a fondness for lambda, but if you call it lambda, people may expect it to operate more like a lambda form in ways it doesn't, or will debate features like adding flags, etc, because they have a pre-conceived notion of what a lambda form should be. PHP's not lisp, don't make it pretend it is. I would go for new_function or perhaps anon_function. Personally I don't care if you call it supercalafragalisticexpialadocious() so long as it's there :) chuck "eventhoughthesoundofitissomethingquiteatrocious()" adams
