Named function cannot do this, but anyway function FUNC($a, $b, $c) uses ($d, $e, $f) {} is like function FUNC($a, $b, $c) { global $d, $e, $f; } I would rather have this. function FUNC($a, $b, $c) uses ($d, $e, $f) {} Then it would be consistent with anonymous function. There are methods, so we should be careful though. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net
