AG>> I prefer not having aliases and I definitely prefer having a more PHP'ish AG>> name such as anonymous_function() or create_function() than a name such as AG>> lambda() which is only intuitive to a very small subset of PHP users. In fact, I don't believe in such thing as "intuitive function name". That's almost as "intuitive machine code". Function name is an axiom, you look it on the manual and learn it. You will do it anyway to know arguments, BTW :) And lambda is much shorter to type than anonymous_function. :) -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665
