why doesn't this work?
$arr=array(
7,
'h',
function($text){echo $text;}
);
$arr[2]('some text');
I want it to echo 'some text' but it says that there is an unexpected T_FUNCTION.

Anonymous functions have been added in PHP 5.3.0 to my knowledge. This error seems to indicate that the version you're using doesn't support them.

I found that I can use create_function() instead
Indeed that seems to be the correct answer. I wasn't sure that the function in array syntax would work (even in PHP 5.3.x), so I've just tested it and it does seem to work:
<?php
echo phpversion( ) . ": ";
$foo = array(
'test' => function( ) {
return 'This is my test.';
}
);
echo $foo['test']( );
?>
That outputs (on my machine, of course):
5.3.2-1ubuntu4.7: This is my test.
