You can use create_function() to do something like that. See http://php.net/create_function Or simply make a function. The point of macros in a language like C is that they are processed before compilation and a real function call is avoided. This does not apply to a non-compiled language like PHP so there is no reason not to simply create a PHP-level function if you want something like that. -Rasmus
