note 109569 added to functions.anonymous

Well... as far as I know it's anonymous functions, not closures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_%28computer_science%29 "The term closure is often mistakenly used to mean anonymous function. This is probably because most languages implementing anonymous functions allow them to form closures and programmers are usually introduced to both concepts at the same time. An anonymous function can be seen as a function literal, while a closure is a function value. These are, however, distinct concepts. A closure retains a reference to the environment at the time it was created (for example, to the current value of a local variable in the enclosing scope) while a generic anonymous function need not do this." ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 213.156.103.119 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109569 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109569/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109569/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109569/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109569/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109569/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109569/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109569 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109569 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
