…where ever string eval can be used e.g. CGridView columns value.

The current framework is compatible with PHP 5.2 and so can’t use anonymous functions. 2.0 will be PHP 5.3+ though.

Good to hear.

CComponent::evaluateExpression() does accept anonymous functions. Just try it :)

EDIT: An example for CGridView from my current project:




'columns' => array(


	//...

	array(

		'class' => 'CLinkColumn',

		'label' => 'jogosultság hozzárendelése',

		'urlExpression' => function ($data, $row, $component) { return array('assignRole', 'id' => $data->id); },

	),

),

holy moly, thanks for that! How do you know the method signature for the function?

In fact, it isn’t documented, so it may not be safe to rely on. I had to take a look at the code of Yii, to figure it out.

It’s safe to rely on. I promise.
