In short, lambda functions (or function literals/function constants) are distinguishing from normal procedural functions with their ability to be created within other functions and used as valid syntax. They do not necessarily need to be defined beforehand and called correspondingly. As of version 5.3+ of PHP closures support is added. Let's take a few examples so as to make things clear.
