note 95995 added to functions.anonymous

In response to (kwilson at shuttlebox dot net): The global keyword always pulls from the global scope. In your test() function, $variable is in test()'s local scope. When the function in $closure is called, the global statement goes out to the global scope to find $variable. This is just normal PHP variable scope behavior. It has nothing to do with anonymous functions or closures (which are two separate, but related concepts). ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.55 Probable Submitter: 65.190.53.32 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95995 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95995/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95995/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95995/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95995/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95995/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95995/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95995 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95995 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
