Chapter 7

Variable Scope

Variables inside a function are local by default. PHP also supports global variables, but strong code usually prefers passing values clearly rather than depending heavily on global state.

$taxRate = 0.1;

function showValue() {
    $local = "inside";
}
Chapter 7

Pass by Value and Reference

function addBonus(&$score) {
    $score += 5;
}

PHP can pass variables by reference when needed, but this should be used carefully because it makes data flow less explicit.

Chapter 7

Anonymous Functions and Closures

$greet = function ($name) {
    return "Hello, " . $name;
};

Closures are useful for callbacks, array transformations, middleware-like logic, and modern framework code. They are part of everyday PHP once projects become more advanced.

Chapter 7

Array Callback Patterns

$numbers = array(1, 2, 3);
$doubled = array_map(function ($n) {
    return $n * 2;
}, $numbers);

Callbacks help transform, filter, or sort data in clean reusable ways.

Chapter 7

Where This Matters

In modern PHP frameworks and libraries, closures appear in routes, collections, validation rules, middleware, event handlers, and service configuration. Students should become comfortable reading and writing them.
