PHP Functional Programming Scope
Example
In PHP, an anonymous function has its own scope like any other PHP function.
In JavaScript, an anonymous function can access a variable in outside scope. But in PHP, this is not permitted.
$name = 'John';
// Anonymous function trying access outside scope
$sayHello = function() {
return "Hello $name!";
}
print $sayHello('John'); // Hello !
// With notices active, there is also an Undefined variable $name notice
