Howto - php array_filter anonymous function

Every day something new :-). This day i finally had time to deal with anonymous functions. Since it is the first time, also after solving the problems, working with anonymous functions is feeling a bit strange. But now i have done it, so it feels better then before where i have never dealt with them.

Here is my example code.

<?php $nl = '<br>' . PHP_EOL; $array = array( 0 => array( 'level' => 0, 'label' => 'zero', ), 1 => array( 'level' => 1, 'label' => 'one' ), 2 => array( 'level' => 0, 'label' => 'two', ), 3 => array( 'level' => 2, 'label' => 'three', ), ); $levelToFilter = 1; $array2 = array_filter($array, function ($arrayItem) use ($levelToFilter) { return ($arrayItem['level'] !== $levelToFilter); }); echo 'array::' . $nl; echo xdebug_var_dump($array); echo 'array2::' . $nl; echo xdebug_var_dump($array2);
Feel free to play around with it. I guess $levelToFilter is the variable you should change :-).
