Let developers decide what they can use, and what must not. PHP is already full enough of "RESERVED" "YOU MUST NOT" "YOU CAN NOT" "YOU SHOULD NOT" "ITS HARD, SO WE WILL NOT MAKE THIS FEATURE" "I DONT NEED THIS, SO PLEASE DON'T REQUEST THIS FEATURE" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-16 01:51:07] olamedia at gmail dot com <?php class a{ public $c = array(); function __call($name, $args){ $closure = $this->c[$name]; // example $self = $this; // how can I pass $self to closure? $closure->static['self'] = $this // NO!, Reflection is giving empty array call_user_func_array($closure, $args); } } $a = new a(); $a->c['hello'] = function($x) use ($self){ return 'Hello, '.$x.'!
