hi,
"This is how PHP expresses a closure. This is not evil at all and in fact it is quite powerful and useful.
Basically what this means is that you are allowing the anonymous function to "capture" local variables (in this case, $tax and a reference to $total) outside of it scope and preserve their values (or in the case of $total the reference to $total itself) as state within the anonymous function itself."
