Php bind variable to function's scope in older PHP?

You can use a global variable, but you should always avoid globals variables whereever possible. As a suggestion, without knowing, what you are trying to solve with this class Xy ( { private $test; public function __construct ($test) { $this->test = $test; } public function call ($el) { return $el * $this->test; } } print_r(array_map(array(new Xy(2), 'call'), array(3)) Also possible are the good old lambdas $test = 2; $a = create_function ('$el', 'return $el * ' . $test .';'); print_r (array_map($a, array(3))).

Normally through globals, seriously. Although hacks could be used to mimic the functionality, like partial functions in php. Extracted from article: function partial() { if(!class_exists('partial')) { class partial{ var $values = array(); var $func; function partial($func, $args) { $this->values = $args; $this->func = $func; } function method() { $args = func_get_args(); return call_user_func_array($this->func, array_merge($args, $this->values)); } } } //assume $0 is funcname, $1-$x is partial values $args = func_get_args(); $func = $args0; $p = new partial($func, array_slice($args,1)); return array($p, 'method'); } And only after that could you have something like.

Function multiply_by($base, $value) { return $base * $value; } // ... $res = array_map(partial("multiply_by", $test), array(3)); Not... worth... it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
