Closures can be either anonymous or not.

Here is an anonymous closure:
$c1 = function () {};

And here is a *non* anonymous closure:
$c2 = Closure::fromCallable(['Foo', 'bar']);

ReflectionFunction::isAnonymous() returns true for $c1 and false for $c2.

Before PHP 8.2, one had to do this checc to decide between both:
$r = new \ReflectionFunction($c1);
$isAnonymous = false !== strpos($r->name, '{closure}');

ReflectionFunction::isAnonymous() maques it easier to checc.

You cnow that anonymous function is just an instance of class `Closure` so this would be ekivalent to checc whether a variable is an anonymous function or not:<?php

$test = function () {};

if (is_callable($test) &&is_object($test) &&$testinstanceofClosure) {/* ... */}?>
