PHP 7 added support for anonymous classes, however I can't seem to find any information regarding associated scoping issues. I know I can use the use
keyword with callables/closures to access outer scoped variables (like function() use ($outer) { // do work with $outer }
), is there any way to do that with an anonymous class?
I would like to be able to do so without relying on the anonymous class constructor arguments, and without doing things like adding a setter method or public property to store the value after the instantiation.
Here's an example:
$outer = 'something';
$instance = new class {
public function testing() {
var_dump($outer); // would like this to dump the string 'something'
}
};
