Hi Peter, If I recall correctly, you can use the 'use' keyword. $factorial = function($foo) use ($factorial) { $factorial($foo); } $factorial('Hello World!'); I'm still having issues compiling 5.3 on my system, so I haven't tested this. Thanks, Justin Martin Peter Danenberg wrote:

In addendum I'd like to correct the syntax that I had someone in IRC test. Apparently it works as such: $foo = NULL; $foo = function($foo) use ($foo) { ... } Still rather hackish, but better than globals I suppose? Thanks, Justin Martin Justin Martin wrote: Hi Peter, If I recall

Well, it's a rather simple bit of logic. First, we define $foo and load it with NULL so that it is available for referencing. Next, in terms of program logic, we create a closure with a lexical ('use') variable of a reference to $foo, which is then assigned to $foo. Thus, the reference to $foo in

First, we define $foo and load it with NULL so that it is available for referencing. It turns out loading $foo is superfluous; I can get away with just: $foo = function($foo) use ($foo) { $foo(); } Next, in terms of program logic, we create a closure with a lexical ('use')

I suppose it's an issue of cloning. Perhaps there's some difference between a cloned closure and a referenced closure? Thanks, Justin Martin Peter Danenberg wrote: First, we define $foo and load it with NULL so that it is available for referencing. It turns out loading $foo is superfluous;

It was not my intention to initiate a massive debate regarding the use of short_open_tag. I posted for two reasons: 1. To ask if short_open_tag has been deprecated in PHP 6. 2. To suggest asp_tags as the recommended option for templating in PHP (to keep both crowds* happy). * The crowd *for*
