RFC question (Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] Allow use($var..) statement ubiquitously)

I would like to keep this as a RFC page in wiki.php.net. Are there any conventions or rules that I should keep in mind? (or just-not-supposed-to-do-that-because-your-proposal-is-stupid-and-will-never-be-accepted?) Moriyoshi On 2008/07/18, at 8:23, Moriyoshi Koizumi wrote:

Hi, Attached are the patches that allow the "use" statement that was introduced with closures to appear within every function statement except method definitions. I think this feature is a good addition because it resolves inconsistency between closures and unticked functions. In a nutshell, <?php function foo() use (&$some_globals) {

    echo $some_globals;

} ?> is equivalent to <?php function foo() {

    global $some_globals;
    echo $some_globals;

} ?> While, <?php function bar() {

    $some_local_var = '';
    function fubar() use (&$some_local_var) {
        echo $some_local_var;
    }

} ?> and <?php function bar() {

    function fubar() {
        global $some_local_var;
        echo $some_local_var;
    }

} ?> are of course not the same.<php-ubiquitous-use-statement-HEAD-20080718.patch.diff.txt><php-ubiquitous-use-statement-PHP_5.3-20080718.patch.diff.txt> Moriyoshi --PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
