Note Submitter: bishamon ---- 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).
