Something quite cool is also the use keyword. I don't know if it's specifically for the anonymous functions, but it's great 'cause then you can pass in variables into functions that you need, but don't want to pass as a param when calling the function.

PHP Code:


			

$db = new DB();

$connect = function($host, $user, $pass) use($db) {

$db->connect($host, $user, $pass);

}

$connect('localhost', 'root', '');
