note 113896 added to functions.anonymous

In case you were wondering (cause i was), anonymous functions can return references just like named functions can. Simply use the & the same way you would for a named function...right after the function keyword (and right before the nonexistent name). <?php $value = 0; $fn = function &() use (&$value) { return $value; }; $x =& $fn(); var_dump($x, $value); // 'int(0)', 'int(0)' ++$x; var_dump($x, $value); // 'int(1)', 'int(1)' ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 72.52.91.14 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/113896 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113896/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113896/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113896/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113896/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113896/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113896/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113896 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/113896 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
