Functional PHP Extensions
A set of higher-order functions and other primatives written in PHP4 which let you write php code in a functional style, similar to the way you might in Haskell, Scheme, or ML. There are also stubby object-to-functional bindings.
Why this module?
The latest versions of PHP are starting to get some of the features typically
found in a functional language. However:- Real people don't always have access to the latest builds
- The latest build may be buggy
- PHP's recent functionalist calls are rather verbose. One of my colleagues calls them painfully so.
- COMBINATORS and other METAFUNCTIONS
Therefore, this module attempts to provide some FP primatives that php either lacks or does uncomfortably.
