note 104412 deleted from functions.variable-functions by danbrown

Note Submitter: dbsuk2011 ---- Is there anything wrong with the following code? Should I avoid this practice? // temp function $postDelete = function() { // do something after delete occurs }; I ask because I am using Zend Studio which highlights the "function" keyword as an error (unexpected "function"). // from code snippet public function deleteAction() { // function $postDelete = function() { // do something after delete occurs }; // delete the obj $this->delete(new Content_Model_DatabaseObject_ContentItem(), $postDelete); } The code Parses (PHP5.3) perfectly. I wanted to use this approach to pass a temporary function into another function to the be called from within that function. I know theres other ways I could achieve the same, but this seems very straight forward way to pass functionality through functions. Any comments appreciated.
