Here’s a small piece of code I wrote which plays around with inline anonymous functions.

    It shows you a unique value of an array, even when refreshing the page. The output will be different every time and no value will ever be shown twice in a row.

     

    @session_start();
    
    $terms = ['ayo', 'test', 'yani'];
    
    echo $terms[call_user_func(
        function($terms, $num){
            do $_SESSION['poem'] = mt_rand(0, count($terms) - 1);
                while($num == $_SESSION['poem']);
            return $_SESSION['poem'];
        },
        $terms,
        $num = (
            isset($_SESSION['poem'])) ?
            $_SESSION['poem'] :
            mt_rand(0, count($terms) - 1
        )
    )];

     

    I think it shows really good how inline anonymous functions can be used for some amazing things.
