How do I immediately execute an anonymous function in PHP?

Question

In JavaScript, you can define anonymous functions that are executed immediately:

(function () { /* do something */ })()

Can you do somethin

Answer 1

This is the simplest for PHP 7.0 or later.

php -r '(function() {echo 'Hi';})();'

It means create closure, then call it as function by following "()". Works just like JS thanks to uniform variable evaluation order.
