note 91885 added to functions.anonymous

Am I the only one who finds it ridiculous that you have to explicitly import variables into a closure (using the "use" syntax)? A closure by definition should inherit the scope of the parent where the closure is defined If php played by the rules of standard programming practice, the following example would work as-is, without having to add a "use ($var)" clause. Flawed implementation, like so many things in the world of php. <? $var = 'hello'; $lamba = function () { var_dump($var); }; $lambda(); ?> ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 69.70.125.250 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91885 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91885/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91885/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91885/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91885/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91885/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91885/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91885 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91885 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
