Opis Closure
Installation, licensing and requirements
Opis Closure is a library that aims to overcome PHP’s limitations regarding closure serialization by providing a wrapper that will make all closures serializable.
The library’s key features:
- Serialize any closure
- Serialize arbitrary objects
- Doesn’t use
eval
for closure serialization or unserialization - Works with any PHP version that has support for closures
- Supports PHP 7.0 syntax
- Handles all variables referenced/imported in
use()
and automatically wraps all referenced/imported closures for proper serialization - Handles recursive closures
- Handles magic constants like
__FILE__
,__DIR__
,__LINE__
,__NAMESPACE__
,__CLASS__
,__TRAIT__
,__METHOD__
and__FUNCTION__
. - Automatically resolves all class names, function names and constant names used inside the closure
- Track closure’s residing source by using the
#trackme
directive - Simple and very fast parser
- Any error or exception, that might occur when executing an unserialized closure, can be caught and treated properly
- You can serialize/unserialize any closure unlimited times, even those previously unserialized
(this is possible because
eval()
is not used for unserialization) - Handles static closures
- Supports cryptographically signed closures
- Provides a reflector that can give you information about the serialized closure
- Provides an analyzer for SuperClosure library
- Automatically detects when the scope and/or the bound object of a closure needs to be serialized in order for the closure to work after deserialization

Requirements
- PHP 5.4.0 or higher
Installation
Opis Closure is available on Packagist and it can be installed from a command line interface by using Composer.
composer require opis/closure
Or you could directly reference it into your composer.json
file as a dependency
{
"require": {
"opis/closure": "^3.1"
}
}
Migrating from 2.x
If your project needs to support PHP 5.3 you can continue using the 2.x
version
of Opis Closure. Otherwise, assuming you are not using one of the removed/refactored classes or features(see
CHANGELOG), migrating to version 3.x
is simply a matter
of updating your composer.json
file.
Semantic versioning
Opis Closure follows the semantinc versioning specifications.
SuperClosure support
SuperClosure is now abandoned
Opis Closure is shipped with an analyzer(Opis\Closure\Analyzer
) which
aims to provide Opis Closure’s parsing precision and speed to SuperClosure.
