[](#how-to-use-it)

The file `src/block.php` define the interface `eastoriented\php\block`.
The file `src/block/functor.php` contains a class which implements `eastoriented\php\block` using [PHP callable](http://php.net/callable):

```
use eastoriented\php\block;

(new block\functor(function() { echo 'Hello world!'; }))->blockArgumentsAre(); // display 'Hello world!'
(new block\functor(function($message) { echo $message; }))->blockArgumentsAre('Hello world!'); // display 'Hello world!'
(new block\functor(function($hello, $world) { echo $hello . ' ' . $world . '!'; }))->blockArgumentsAre('Hello', 'world'); // display 'Hello world!'

```

The file `src/block/exception.php` contains a class which implements `eastoriented\php\block` to throw exception:

```
use eastoriented\php\block;

(new block\exception(new \exception))->blockArgumentsAre(); // throw $exception

```
