How does currying work?

Question

I\'m very new to Haskell and FP in general. I\'ve read many of the writings that describe what currying is, but I haven\'t found an explanation to how it actually works.

If you come from C-like languages, their syntax might help you to understand it. For example in PHP the add function could be implemented as such:

function add($a) {
    return function($b) use($a) {
         return $a + $b;
    };
}
