No, but only I'd much strongly prefer we have some syntax for defined 'short closures' ala Javascript: $values = [1, 2, 3]; $bar = array_map($x => $x + 1, $values); // $values === [2, 3, 4]; as those cover much more than the basic arithmetic operations, are nice and readable after you've used them a few times. cheers Dan Ack -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
