php inline callback

Question

A quick question.

Is it possible to declare the callback function inline, in php? For example,

array_filter($input_array, "function($item) { $item['state'] != 0 }")

Answer 1

Yes, after php 5.3, you could use anonymous function.

array_filter($input_array, function($item) { return $item['state'] != 0; });

Not my case unfortunately.. 5.1 here :( – Assiniboine

@Assiniboine Then you could use create_function php.net/manual/en/function.create-function.php – Blah

Note that each line of code inside the anonymous function needs to end with a semicolon. – Coloring

Answer 2

Sure it calls anonymous functions:

array_filter($input_array, function($item) { 
    return $item['state'] != 0;
});

Answer 3

array_filter($input_array, function($item) { 
    return $item['state'] != 0;
});

This functionality is available from 5.3 or > version of php. In 5.4> version will support $this in inline Anonymous Functions

this is an identical answer to the already accepted answer. Please avoid doing that. – Orthodox
