inner function not supported?

[Anon]

I guess that inner function is not supported in PHP? There is no syntax to get local variables from the outer function, and also calling the outer function for the second times results in an error ("Cannot redeclare...").

Your right ... you can write the code for a function within a function, but there are no methods for accessing the outer function's variables. Also, if you call the outer function twice, you get that error because you can only declare a function once (it considers you've declared it a second time). Pity .....

Perhaps a quick bug submission would be worthwhile? http://bugs.php.net/

All the best,

I wonder if there's some way to get around this. Like with defined(). Haven't tried this though. But if I cannot access outer functions' data, guess I'll just refactor so that I do not need to create inner functions (usually with classes).
