Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

create_fucntion($params, $code) actually is eval(\"function lambda1($params) { $code }\"). In your code $params is an Array which is being casted to a string \"Array\" so the full code reads like
   function lambda(Array) { print1; }
where the error message is misleading but correct.
