Doc Bug #67822 Precedence of used variable names vs closure arguments should be defined
Submitted: 2014-08-11 18:34 UTC Modified: 2015-07-12 04:22 UTC
From: fredemmott@php.net Assigned:
Status: No Feedback Package: PHP Language Specification
PHP Version: PHP-5.6 OS: n/a
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2014-08-11 18:34 UTC] fredemmott@php.net
Description:
------------
If a closure has an argument and a used variable with the same name, PHP5 uses the 
variable; HHVM uses the argument.

The PHP5 behavior should be documented in the specification.

There's also an issue filed against HHVM to match PHP5's behavior (https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/issues/3406)

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$foo = 'used variable';
$closure = function ($foo) use ($foo) { return $foo; };

var_dump($closure('argument'));





Expected result:
----------------
'used variable'

Actual result:
--------------
PHP5: 'used variable'
HHVM: 'argument'

Not sure it is really necessary to specify, this doesn't seem to be an important use case. Is there any reason why it should be one way or another?
