object(Closure)#1 (0) { }

In PHP 5.3.0, when I do this:

Code:

var_dump(function(){});

It returns an object named Closure, functions are objects now?

No, not as far as I know, but as of PHP 5.3 anonymous (closures) functions are allow similar to javascript.

That type of anonymous function creates an instance of the Closure class, which has the magic __invoke method used when the function is called. Only that type of anonymous function is an object, regular plain old functions are not.
