[Discussion] "Hello World" Redux (towards a possible Plugin SDK)

[Angryboy]

I understand (and to note, you're already contributing to the PHP 5.2 discussion).

How about a very small wrapper for create_function:

PHP Code:

// Wrapper
if (!class_exists('Closure') && !function_exists('closure')) {
  function closure($params = '', $use = array(), $body = '') {
    return create_function($params, "extract($use); " . $body);
  }
}

// Example Usage
$i18n = closure('$hash', array('id' => $id), '
  return i18n_r($id . "$hash");
'); 


?

Not tested it yet.

Also, shawn: do you have a sketch of how you think an ideal plugin would end up looking once the refactoring is done (like in a GitHub issue or comment or something)?
