Note Submitter: nate at example dot com ---- 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(); ?>
