note 121034 added to functions.anonymous

One way to call a anonymous function recursively is to use the USE keyword and pass a reference to the function itself: <?php $count = 1; $add = function($count) use (&$add){ $count += 1; if($count < 10) $count = $add($count); //recursive calling return $count; }; echo $add($count); //Will output 10 as expected ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 47.52.18.124 (proxied: 121.31.251.177) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/121034 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121034/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121034/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121034/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121034/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121034/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121034/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121034 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/121034 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
