Using a variable as an operator

Question

So I have something like the following:

$a = 3;
$b = 4;
$c = 5;
$d = 6;

and I run a comparison like

if($a>$b || $c>$d

It's not possible, but you could use a function instead. Of course, you'd have to define them yourself. This would be fairly simple using PHP 5.3's closures:

$or = function($x, $y)
{
    return $x || $y;
};

if ($or($a > $b, $c > $d))
{
    echo 'yes';
};
